Ofsted chief quits over ‘ghetto’ jibe

The chairman of British education watchdog Ofsted has resigned after causing controversy by branding the Isle of Wight a “ghetto” where there was “inbreeding”.

David Hoare said he had told UK education secretary Justine Greening he was resigning with immediate effect.

The former businessman’s resignation comes just weeks after he was forced to apologise for his comments about the Isle of Wight.
