‘Boys’ street dance is offered at school as a club - no ‘girls’ street dance - Is that ok?

[reallyconfusedmostofthetime]

Can the school as best practice offer a club which specifically states only ‘boys’? My daughter would like to do it. They don’t offer girls street dance. Anyone know if there is legislation or guidelines for this?

My children's school has "Football" and "Girl's Football" - some girls will join a mixed team, but most won't.

So I see the reason for having "Boy's streetdance".

If your DD wants to do Streetdance though, could you approach the school and request a girls/mixed group?

My neice's school has a girls only STEM club. It's very popular.

Oops.. niece.

I think it's brilliant. I thoroughly support girls football and cricket etc, male dominated sport which girls do need a space to thrive. Our primary school does loads like this but nothing for the boys except traditional male sports. My DS would love to do dance or gymnastics but the after-school clubs are only girls. Would love a boys only space.

I think the sports clubs etc is imteresting and in school lessons because for ease the kids are taught together.
But bias from young is that boys are needing more sport
Need to train to get into football etc
But actually often ks1 and 2 girls are as tall if not taller.
Yet despite doing pe together on sports day the race is divided.
Now at that age who would actually win anf why. I would think without the extra pushing boys get it might be equal?
Parents cant see them doing pe but do the boys take control of that and again is it because they do that sport outside school. (Or one that includes running).
I imagine that whilst many girls start out with gym and dance/ballet the numbers start to drop off but that many boys continue on with sports.

I think probably for football/rugby it makes sense to have it divided by sex as you need to encourage a whole team of girls into the sport, and there can be a culture of not playing to the other one or if they are good to not like it and want them to go away.
Im not finding sport taken very seriously at our primary - they get almost no swimming lessons.

@Lulualla bloody well said.
