Ofsted school inspections to change after head teacher Ruth Perry's family campaign
Mrs Perry took her own life while waiting for an Ofsted report to be published, which would rate her Caversham Primary School in Reading as inadequate.her family says the inspection process caused her significant distress.
Ms Spielman explained that one of those changes announced by Ofsted on Monday was "changing the language of reports so that we don't sound over-focused on the head and senior leaders". She said her sister did not feel she was given a chance to address the issues raised by inspectors about staff training and record-keeping.
Another one of the parent campaigners, Prof Mark Boylan, said that if a forthcoming reinspection allowed the academy plan to be reversed, the damage had still been done.He added that the one-word system feels like a judgement on everyone in the school community - not just the staff.
