Ofsted inspectors were told boys were treating sharing 'nudes' like a 'collection game' in an 'alarming' review of sexual abuse and harassment in schools. The review found children as young as 10 had sent nudes, with one school reporting examples among Year 6 and Year 7 pupils. Some girls experienced groping in school corridors but the majority of serious offences took place outside of school. The review found around nine in 10 of the girls were called sexist names and sent unwanted explicit pictures or videos happened "a lot" or "sometimes". Most children felt their sex education was inadequate and girls expressed frustration at lack of clear teaching on unacceptable conduct. Many teachers said they do not feel prepared to teach topics such as consent, healthy relationships and sharing of sexual images. The watchdog said schools should teach about consent and sharing explicit images, and urged the Government to strengthen online safeguarding. The Government said schools would be encouraged to take extra training days on the issues and tougher safeguarding rules will be produced.

Some girls can be contacted by up to 11 boys a night asking for nude images, the schools watchdog for England says. In an Ofsted survey, girls explained that if they blocked boys on social media "they just create multiple accounts to harass you". The report also found nine in 10 girls believed that sexist name-calling and being sent unwanted explicit photos or videos happened "a lot" or "sometimes" between their peers. The watchdog is warning that sexual harassment has become "normalised" among school-age children.
