2:22Now PlayingAn Ofsted inspection likely contributed to the death of headteacher Ruth Perry, a coroner has concluded.
Ms Perry's family say she took her own life in January after Caversham Primary School in Reading, Berkshire, went from "outstanding" - the highest rating - to "inadequate" due to safeguarding concerns.
Staff at the school said the headteacher was left tearful and incoherent following the inspection on 15 and 16 November last year.
