The guidance behind schools’ regulator Ofsted’s ‘inappropriate’ questioning of ten-year-olds about lesbians has been revealed.
The Daily Mail reported that inspectors are briefed to ask pupils as young as four about homosexuality, transsexualism and same-sex parents.
Inspectors are instructed to ask pupils about different types of families including having “two mums or two dads” but there is no reference to families with both a mum and a dad.
’Intrusive’ questioning
Last week the head of Ofsted, Sir Michael Wilshaw, denied that pupils have been questioned about ‘inappropriate’ topics.
He was asked about complaints of ‘intrusive’ questioning of pupils at Grindon Hall Christian School in Sunderland and The Durham Free School, whilst giving evidence to the Education Select Committee.
Parents of children at Grindon Hall school objected to questions asked by inspectors, including if they knew what lesbians “did” and if their friends felt trapped in the “wrong body”.
