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, and 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 ofsted 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." 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 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 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 of a holistic approach, _ suggest suggest ways - to improve rather than saying, 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, 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 thatjudgement 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 on to. 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 effectiveness of grade or not. and there are problems in doing away 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 that 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 yearbook 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. thursday turned out to be the warmest day of the year so far, with temperatures in suffolk reaching highs of 17.8 celsius, very close to 18 degrees. but while there were some spells of sunshine, there were also

some hefty downpours. and we're starting friday with, actually, some more persistent rain swirling around this area of low pressure. now, this has been named by the french weather service. it's been named storm martis for the strength of the winds in the north of france. but it is also bringing some very strong winds through the english channel affecting the channel islands, southern coasts of england, even into the south coast of wales. gusts of50, 60,70 mph as we start friday morning with some outbreaks of heavy and persistent rain. that rain really lingering through the day across the south west of england, even as the winds slowly ease for the south east of england, east anglia, the midlands, parts of wales will see some hefty showers. the midlands, parts of wales northern england and eastern scotland, quite cloudy with a bit of rain at times. some bright skies for western scotland and northern ireland, but with some showers as well. not quite as warm as

it was on thursday — generally 8—13 celsius. and then, as we head through friday night, well, this band of rain stays quite stubbornly across western parts of the uk, a lot of cloud filtering into eastern areas as well. not a particularly cold night, temperatures generally between 3—9 celsius. so, into saturday, quite a messy weather picture. this area of low pressure still fairly close by. a couple of different weather systems bringing a focus for some outbreaks of rain. we will have this band of rain likely to affect parts of northern ireland, wales and the south of england as we go through saturday. further east, a lot of clouds, some spots of rain with that and quite a brisk breeze, meaning that for parts of eastern scotland and northeast england, it will feel really rather cool, in fact, quite chilly. and even further inland and further west, it is going to be cooler than it has been. now, as we get into the second half of the weekend, low pressure loses its influence and high pressure starts to build, and that means we'll have lighter winds for the most part on sunday, a little bit breezy in the southeast corner. there should also be less cloud and more in the way of sunshine. and aside from a few showers,

most places will be dry, but still a little cooler than it has been — highs of 9—12 celsius.
