Headteacher found hanged in school feared Ofsted review, inquest told

[LeftishBrit]

A headteacher found hanged at her primary school was concerned it would lose its top Ofsted rating months before she died, an inquest has heard.

The body of Helen Mann, 43, was discovered at Sytchampton endowed first school, near Stourport-on-Severn, Worcestershire, on 5 November.

Mann had been head of the school for less than six months when she died, having taken charge after the Easter holidays.

The inquest before Marguerite Elcock, deputy coroner for Worcestershire, heard that Mann was concerned that if an Ofsted inspection was imminent, the school would lose its "outstanding" rating.

It was only a matter of time before something like this happened, IMO.

1. Very sorry

That's awful.

2. Absolutely.

Though I imagine that Wilshaw and Gove will write it off as collateral damage.
