Reading Borough Council report identifies funding and policy constraints, and a "macho culture of high stakes accountability" as barriers to council support for school leaders.

A report commissioned by Reading Borough Council found that councils are "effectively hamstrung" in their ability to support school leaders due to funding and policy constraints. The report, following the death of headteacher Ruth Perry, also criticized a "macho culture of high stakes accountability" as the root cause of distress for school leaders. The report calls for support for calls to scrap one-word verdicts used by Ofsted.
