To think that the state should offer single sex education as part of parental choice?

[KTheGrey]

Everyonesinvited.uk states as fact that there are three sexual assaults in primary schools reported to police every day (2016 figures), and that 9/10 girls had received unsolicited images (2021 from Ofsted). The Attainment 8 data analysis by gsa.uk (2019) shows an over 10% average higher point score by girls in girls' schools than by boys in boys' schools and over 20% higher average point score than all students in co-ed schools. A 2018 Queensland University study showed girls from single sex education emerged more confident. Many studies have shown they are more likely to engage with STEM at a higher level.

Should the state admit that it has failed in its primary duty of care in keeping girls safe, (as well as promoting every child's chances of getting their best results from school) and start providing single sex options to parents?

0.04% of children should rightly not take priority over the other 99.96% of children. And anybody with a working brain should be able to recognise that, irrespective of whether their child is in the 0.04%.

Education is a broad provision and absolutely there are specific needs that have to be met. But single sex schools won't eradicate sexual assaults.

Yes, we have found it really effective for relatively short term challenges which children go through, such as bereavement, parents separating, to help those with a physical disability/long term illness come to terms with their condition. It has helped with attendance where children were refusing to attend for emotional reason, and behaviour where children were 'acting out' as a symptom of an underlying anxiety, it was a safe space where the children knew their parent or teacher wouldn't be told what they had talked about, unless a safeguarding concern was raised, abd they could work with the counsellor yo develop age appropriate coping strategies
