Calls to boycott OfstedAt least two unions have called on Ofsted to pause inspections - the National Education Union and the National Association of Head Teachers .
"This is an agency that is completely out of touch, and which is making claims and judgements which are unreliable. This can't go on." Ms Perry had been a former pupil of Caversham Primary and Ms Waters said the inspection destroyed 32 years of her vocation and"preyed on her mind until she couldn't take it anymore".
Ousted decision is based on the individual doing the inspection...I know of a nursery, that had a child that received appalling injuries through incompetence. And they received an outstanding. How can that be ...the system is open to errors
Something needs to change!
They want to be unaccountable now 🤷🏻♂️
About time someone stood up to ofsted

Headteacher to refuse Ofsted inspection following Ruth Perry deathHeadteacher of Caversham Primary School, Ruth Perry, took her own life on 8 January after a damning Ofsted report downgraded the school's overall rating from outstanding to inadequate. Good for her. Ofsted is as useless an indicator of quality as the CQC. Tell you nothing of systems and culture, only who's best at PR. I once had training from actors in advance of a CQC inspection. Useless. I refuse to take my car for an MOT ever again Incase I'm told it's inadequate to drive and it damages my mental health

Headteacher planning to refuse Ofsted entry after death of fellow school leaderShe initially called for support for her plan after another headteacher killed herself while waiting for an Ofsted report which gave her school the lowest possible rating. What a tragic story. There is so much importance, and therefore stress, attached to a visit from Ofsted. Most of it unnecessary.

Headteacher 'blocks Ofsted inspection' in protest after head Ruth Perry, 53, took her own life over ‘inadequate’ ratingA headteacher has said she is ‘taking a stand’ and is refusing to let Ofsted inspect her school after the death of Ruth Perry, who took her own life after her school was downgraded to ‘inadequate’ Good for her. Ofsted requires a MASSIVE overhaul. It needs to be supportive and help schools improve, not put the fear of God into every teacher when they get the dreaded call. So many good teachers have left the profession because of this, and, as with Ruth, some have even died because of it.
