Schools are using boys’ names for girls as young as 13 and recording them on official documents, a newspaper investigation has revealed.
The Mail on Sunday found that at least three mothers were not informed that their schools had started to refer to their daughters as boys after they began to identify as male.
Responding to the investigation, public law barrister Amanda Jones blasted the schools for “acting outside their powers” and warned that parental responsibility could not be overruled by “school diktat”.

Schools in England have been reminded that there is an expectation upon them to teach children and young people the importance of marriage to society.
During a recent session in the House of Lords on the subject of National Marriage Week, Government whip Baroness Scott of Bybrook was asked whether the Government believes enough is being done to inform young people about marriage.
She responded that in primary schools pupils should be taught that marriage is “a formal and legally recognised commitment” that is “intended to be lifelong”, and that in secondary schools “we build on the teaching about that important relationship and the opportunity that marriage provides”.
