Ruth Perry's death has left an 'unfillable hole'

The family of primary school teacher Ruth Perry has said her death has left “an unfillable hole” in their lives.

An inquest has found an Ofsted inspection, carried out in November 2022, contributed to the death of Mrs Perry, who had been the head teacher at Caversham Primary School for 13 years.

Inspectors had told her the school would be downgraded from outstanding to inadequate due to safeguarding concerns.
