time for a look at the weather. here's chris fawkes. after the sunshine of monday, the weather today was quite disappointing, a lot of cloud and outbreaks of rain, and it wasn't just a wet day, it was also quite cold, with temperatures below average for the time of year, around 8-9, average for the time of year, around 8—9, and tomorrow we can look forward to some milder weather but it won't be any drier with more rain on the way. overnight, south—westerly winds pushing in extensive cloud, with outbreaks of light rain and drizzle and if you mist and fog patches around the western coasts and hills but the winds will bring mild air across most areas so by the end of the night for most temperatures will be between 8—11. tomorrow we have a few weather fronts moving between 8—11. tomorrow we have a few weatherfronts moving north—east across the uk and each will bring pulses of fairly heavy rain and during the morning some of the wettest weather will be working

across northern ireland, north—west england and definitely into areas of scotland and then later in the afternoon we have a zone of heavy rain working into wales and parts of southern england. sunny spells in short supply, overall a cloudy and blustery day but mild with temperatures as high as 16, one of the warmest days of the year so far. as we head through wednesday night, the bad of heavy rain crosses the uk and for thursday, still aren't settled but a better day with sunny spells and showers and the showers will turn heavier with some of under ten, the greatest chance of thunderstorms in this line of shower stretching from south—west england to the home counties and london and east anglia. still mild with temperatures 15, maybe up to 18, and in the last day of what has been a 5°99y in the last day of what has been a soggy month, march, is wet, more heavy rain for england and wales, especially into the weekend, we begin april, but the weather is not really changing with more rain on

the way. thanks, chris. and that's the bbc news at ten — there's more analysis of the day's main stories on. newsnight with mark urban which isjust getting underway on bbc two. the news continues here on bbc one as now it's time tojoin our colleagues across the nations and regions for the news where you are. goodnight. hello, i'm marc edwards with your sport, and there's only one place to start. scotland have stunned spain in a sensational victory that helps them take a seismic leap towards qualifying for euro 2024 — manchester united midfielder scott mctominay the star of the show. he opened the scoring for the hosts crashing in a deflected effort afterjust seven minutes. then things got even better for steve clarke's side as mctominay grabbed his second of the night to give scotland, their first competitive victory over spain for 39 years. they top group a, three points above the humbled spaniards and five in front of a stuttering norway. wales maintained their good start

this is bbc news. we'll have the headlines and all the main stories

for you at the top of the hour, straight after this programme, which contains upsetting scenes. there were rumours that the inspection hadn't gone well. 32 years summed up in one word. i would do anything i could to sit down and tell her what - an amazing teacher she was. when you hear it, it hurts because it feels like one of our own. her impact on the community isjust huge and her loss isjust huge on the whole caversham primary community. it's terrifying cos, you know, you can hold it to yourself. and it's it's your- secret at that point, but you know, at some point it's going to go public. - she died because she was so sad and she was so sad because of what somebody had said about the school that she loved. i think you'll enjoy what the children have prepared.

ruth perry — teacher, mother, community leader. i would like every child to look back on their school days with as much fondness as i have, and if we achieve that, then... ..then i'll be very happy. education was her vocation. 32 years summed up in one word — inadequate. itjust preyed on her mind until she couldn't take it any more. in november 2022, everything changed. she texted me back and said, "i can't speak now, "but the worst day of my life. "the offset inspection inspectors have been in and it's dreadful." and that was it.

so, i sort of said, "it can't be that bad." she said, "yes, i think it is. "it's about as bad as it can be." on the first day of their two—day visit, inspectors downgraded caversham primary school in reading from outstanding to inadequate — the lowest level. all during that process, every time i spoke to her, she would talk about the countdown. i remember clearly one day saying 52 days and counting., "52 days and counting." so, every day, she had this weight on her shoulders hanging over her and she wasn't officially allowed to talk to her family. and i remember the very first time i saw her, rather than just speaking to her on the phone a couple of days after the end of the ofsted inspection, she came, she was... she sighs. she was an absolute shadow of her former self. two months on, the pressure became too much. this one—word judgement was just destroying 32 years of her vocation.

ruth took her own life on the 8th of january. a former pupil at the school, its deputy and then head teacher, her sudden death shocked the school and local community. i heard the news via a whatsapp from someone and was in utter shock. the fact that she took her life wasjust... ..just threw me... i didn't think it really kind of sunk in for several weeks that actually it was possible. itjust didn't make sense. her impact on the community isjust huge and her loss isjust huge on the whole caversham primary community. sorry. it's ok. you ok?

take your time. she sighs. she wasjust one of us, wasn't she? she was a parent. she was one of us. the report found leaders at the school had a weak understanding of safeguarding requirements and procedures. a lack of oversight, staff training and poor record keeping and poor record—keeping were also highlighted. it said these weaknesses posed potential risks to pupils. many other areas of the school werejudged to be good. some felt its conclusion was unfair. i think we're patronised as parents. nobody can look at a report - unless it has a one—word summary.

| the entirety of a school's fabric, | its staff, the education provided, some summarised in one word — itjust is a nonsense to me. - caversham primary is an excellent school, and my children, they can attest to that and our experience of it. and it still is. its leadership is doing wonderful work to carry on the ethos and the work of the school, and to have thatjudged in a snapshot of experience and to have that judgment given is heartbreaking judgement given is heartbreaking because it is a very good school providing a wonderful service and love and support and care for the children of the community. for more than a decade, schools graded outstanding became exempt from inspection. but since 2020, re—inspections

have led to hundreds of previously outstanding schools being downgraded. ruth perry's school, which hadn't been inspected for 13 years, is one of five out of 359 to be moved to the bottom grade since september 2022. news of ruth perry's death started a nationwide conversation. teaching unions, school leaders and members of the education community called for inspections to be suspended. but ofsted rejected this. the groups also called for a formal inquiry into caversham primary�*s report. one head teacher decided to take more direct action. ofsted protester head says she'll refuse entry to school inspectors tomorrow following the suicide of a fellow head teacher. ruth perry took her own life ahead of the publication of a critical ofsted report. inspectors were eventually allowed in and the protest called off. some parents, friends

and former colleagues said change might be necessary. now, i absolutely feel that there needs to be regulation in schools just like any other sector, but i think that ofsted now is a very, very blunt instrument and it's a very punitive way ofjudging somebody�*s entire teaching life. we've got to stop this name, blame and shame culture that we're living in. change the system. ofsted need to come in and have more ofl a holistic approach, suggest suggest ways - to improve rather than saying, suggest suggest ways - to improve rather than saying, "you need to improve," and then walk off and leave them. - it's about nurturing and supporting those kids and being by their side, and itjust seems that ofsted maybe need to be a bit more like that or a bit more like how ruth was to me and how she supported me when there were areas that i needed improving. james pope knows the pressures

of teaching leadership. he resigned from his job at a rural, comprehensive in gloucestershire, he resigned from his job at a rural comprehensive in gloucestershire, which had been graded inadequate by ofsted. his story was told in a bbc documentary. good afternoon, colleagues. thank you for your time. sorry to cut off your conversations. i just want to come straight out with this. so, ijust wanted to call you to a meeting this afternoon to let you know that i'm stepping down as head teacher of my old school. good pause there. i'll let that sink in for you and also for me. if you don't mind, if ijust take a little bit of a breather, then that would be nice. some of you have heard me refer to marwood as child number five. children one, two, three and four have been missing out a little bit on daddy time over the course, especially over the last 12 months. what we found when we came back in the september, which happened to coincide with the period of time that the television cameras were there for that academic year, what we then found is just a huge

unravelling of the culture that we'd created. so, if you tell children that they're inadequate, how are they going to behave? and so, we noticed huge drop—offs in our behaviour, we noticed huge drop—offs in the attendance of children, all things that we'd worked really hard to resolve. and i'm painting a fairly dark picture, and this is my point about i don't think the judgement is representative at all. actually, everybody was still working very hard, but some of those subtle things, those nuanced things that bind a school community together that we'd worked so hard to create, i described it at the time, it was literally like watching sand drift through your fingers. you know, all of that stuff that you built and you'd done... and you can't you can't hold on to it. it's very difficult to hold onto. you know, when you're in the ofsted window, when you're waiting for ofsted to come, the feeling is constantly one of fear, of, "they're going to find out "that i'm not doing a very good job," or "they're going to say that i'm not doing a very good job"

and so you spend all of your time worrying about it. then the inspection happens and the feeling is very much because of the way the ofsted operate during that one or two—day window where they're inspecting your school. it feels all of the time like they're trying to find out that you're not doing a very good job. so, it's this sort of negative culture that exists, so you're rubbish until you prove that you're not rubbish. in a statement, ofsted said... it has changed over the last 30 years, and i'm sure it will continue to change, and the great debate now is whether we continue with grades and particularly the the summary or overall overall effectiveness grade or not. or overall effectiveness

grade or not. of grade or not. and there are problems in doing away with that which which i think with that which i think the next chief inspector will have to address because a judgement of good is what parents want to see. reports are written not just for schools, but for parents. they want to know whether they're sending their children to a good school or not. the department for education added... whatever comes next, many say ruth perry has left a lasting legacy. my children mention a memory when they went on a camping trip. she always did the overnight shifts, so she would sit up by the campfire during the overnight so the other teachers could have a rest

and that she would do that shift, and that was her thing that she could offer in that trip. and she was very good at that. if there was a child, they were taking them swimming and one needed one—to—one, she was in the water. and she did that extra mile. and i remember very strongly what she wrote in the year book for our children when they left the preface that she wrote for our children when they'd left, the preface that she wrote and she told them to follow the school's core values, but she said the most important was compassion. she said, "you should always be kind," and she told them to go out to the world and make it a better place for everyone. i would do anything i could to sit down with ruth perry and tell her what an amazing teacher she was and how i have seen material benefit from her governance and her leadership in that school.

but you can't. that's the... ..the finality, the tragedy of the situation. we can't go backwards, but we can go forwards and say, "things have to change." she was my sister. - she was my little sister. and she was a mother- who doted on her daughters, and she was a lovely aunt. she was a daughter. my parents are still here and they've had to live l with this, with losing their daughter. - and it's...it's terrible. it's heartbreaking. -

hello there. after the dry and sunny day that most of us had on monday, tuesday's weather was, well, a little bit disappointing, wasn't it? well, a little bit we had a lot of cloud around and outbreaks of rain. and it wasn'tjust that it was a wet day, it was also quite chilly for a late march day, with temperatures for quite a few of us, around 8—9 celsius. but looking at wednesday's weather picture, it will at least be turning a lot milder, although we have got more rain on the way. now, the milder weather conditions will be brought in on these fairly gusty south—westerly winds, so some very mild aircoming ourway. that process of the southwesterly winds bringing mild air as well under way at the moment, but we've got a lot of cloud around with patches of drizzle — so quite a damp start to wednesday, i think, with a few mist and fog patches around the coast and hills in the west, but temperatures starting off wednesday at around 10—11 celsius in places. now, for wednesday itself, we've got several weather fronts that will be pushing across the uk,

each bringing episodes of rain. so, a cloudy and damp start to the day, then we get these bursts of fairly heavy rain working in from the southwest — some of the wettest weather through the morning across northern ireland and western scotland, then later in the day, wales and parts of southern england could get some really heavy rain, me might even see some localised surface—water flooding. to around 15, maybe 16 celsius. those gusty southwesterly winds continue then through wednesday night, and into thursday, it's a slightly less damp day, night, and into thursday, it's a slightly less damp day, i'd say. brighter skies, there'll be a bit more in the way of sunshine around, but it is a day of sunshine and showers. and come the afternoon, the showers are going to be quite widespread — some of them heavy, the greatest risk of seeing thunderstorms stretches from southwest england towards the home counties and east anglia. temperatures, though, could hit 16 or even 17 celsius, which would make it one of the warmest days of the year so far. from thursday into friday, well, we get more rain.

the rain will be widespread across england and wales, some of it'll be really heavy. across more northern areas into scotland, perhaps the far north of england — you're escaping with some drier and brighter weather here. a few spots of rain across eastern areas. those temperatures, though, won't be as high — 12 or 13 celsius, but those rainfall totals mounting up on the last day of the month. heading into april, well, it's unsettled still — "april showers" pretty much sums it up. expect a bit more rain this weekend.
