Ban schools from separating children by sex for PE and sport

What the petition asks
The Government should ban schools from being able to separate children by sex for PE and sport, so all pupils can choose whatever activities they want, and classes will be mixed gender.
Separating students by sex can limit opportunities for some students to do some activities, and can also lead to bullying of students who don't want to do the activities offered to their sex, or are uncomfortable in a single-sex group.
