Boys' achievement in secondary schools: Ofsted report
Summary of Ofsed report 2003. When boys enter secondary school they are already well behind girls in English, although they achieve marginally better than girls in mathematics. Except in a small number of schools, this ‘gap’ in attainment does not close during the secondary years and boys continue to achieve less well than girls in KS3 tests and GCSE exams. In 1996 Ofsted published a report entitled The Gender Divide which highlighted this gap. This report follows up some of the issues raised and identifies approaches used to raise boys’ attainment.
