Perhaps we should consider renaming Caversham Primary to The Ruth Perry Primary in memory of our much loved and consummate professional Headteacher. #ruthperry #ofsted @johncosgrove405

How is a "tweet" compatible with an "X"? Maybe we'll now call them kisses? 😘

Ofsted: We were worried for Ruth Perry and warned Reading LA that she needed support. Reading: we have no memory and no record of this. I worked in this LA; I have previous experience of Ofsted lying. I know who I believe.

OFSTED using off the record briefings against a dead headteacher to protect themselves is really not a good look. #TomorrowsPapersToday

So I’m heading home - after writing last bits and bytes bs on OFSTED debate. Early start in the morning but worth keeping in mind the highly sensitive nature of all of this after the death of a headteacher by suicide. An inquest will look at the full context later this year

So after the inquest which will explore the events at the time of Ruth Perry’s death the family are calling for far reaching and rapid reform “to place the welfare of teaching staff, as well as of schoolchildren, at its heart”

In a statement overnight Ruth Perry’s family have called for far reaching change in a system they describe as punitive. The statement is measured but also excoriating criticism - more follows in thread to keep the context

That’s why I’m sitting in my PJs doing a series of live radio broadcasts - what these sad set of events provoke is a question - can a school be fairly summed up in a single word judgement - however nuanced the report that sits behind it ?

In a recent speech @bphillipsonMP re- stated the Labour Party policy of moving from a single OFSTED grade to a report card system. This is an idea that I know has been looked at seriously within Whitehall albeit a few years ago.
