Ofsted "contributed" to Reading head teacher's death
An Ofsted inspection "contributed" to the death of head teacher Ruth Perry, an inquest has ruled.
The inspection "lacked fairness, respect and sensitivity" and was at times "rude and intimidating", senior coroner Heidi Connor said.
Mrs Perry, 53, took her own life in January while waiting for an Ofsted report to be published.
Her sister Julia Waters said "urgent lessons must be learnt from Ruth's death". The Department for Education says it will work with Ofsted to consider further changes to inspections.
