Some of the criticism is valid; girls should have the same play opportunities as boys etc.
Some is the sort of nonsense that OFSTED encourages in schools to make boys do worse; such as trying to stop them from being boisterous.
Too many schools treat boys like defective girls. I didn’t know that was actually OFSTED policy however.

Why the hell are religious schools a thing anyways. Segregation by sex should be expected, and the teachings toxic, im not sure what ofsted, or anyone else for that matter expected. Abrahamic religions are intrinsically sexist and intolerant.

Boys as a gender failing in (the far more prevalent and default type of) schools across the land: *crickets*
Girls in one private religious school in Bradford not being allowed to play the same games: “This is unacceptable! We must fix this!”
Edit: My, my. Downvotes? I do hope you’re not suggesting that curtailing religious freedom is more important than supporting our own troubled young men on the basis of their gender. Islamophobia *and* sexism, ironically hypocritical and decidedly unbecoming of those who might claim to be standing up for the underprivileged and discriminated against.
