Ex-Ofsted boss to lead review into watchdog’s response to Ruth Perry’s death
A REVIEW into the schools watchdog’s response to the death of headteacher Ruth Perry starts this month — led by a former Ofsted chief inspector.
Dame Christine Gilbert will lead the independent learning review, which was announced in January, in response to the coroner’s prevention of future deaths report from Ms Perry’s inquest.
