A primary school teacher has "refused entry" to Ofsted inspectors in solidarity with the late Ruth Perry. Flora Cooper, the head of John Rankin School, Newbury, told inspectors due to turn up today they were "refused entry" on the phone earlier this week.

Last night a spokesperson for Flora's school refused to elaborate - but confirmed they expect Ofsted to turn up today. And today police were at the school gates. Flora Cooper tweeted: "Can I please get everyone here tomorrow? Would you show up? "John Rankin School, Newbury. "Who would support? I'm doing this! "Help! I don't know what this will look like!"

The headteacher has since asked people not to show up at the school. She shared on Twitter: "Please can people not come to school now in the morning. I have to protect our children, our staff and our community. "Please for the protection of our children and staff."
