The claim has been made after a study of more than 2,000 primary and secondary school inspection reports from 2015/16.
It has been carried out by the British Humanist Association (BHA), which has now produced a report of its findings and this week said that PSHE and sex and relationships education (SRE) were being “fatally neglected” by inspections.
The report finds that SRE is mentioned by inspectors in less than one per cent of the more than 2,000 inspection reports while PSHE is mentioned in 14 per cent, fewer than most other subjects.
By comparison, geography is mentioned in 26 per cent of the reports, music in 31 per cent, art in 31 per cent, and history in
36 per cent.
