The Huskar Social Union wrote:Girls asked for nudes by up to 11 boys a night, Ofsted findsSome girls can be contacted by up to 11 boys a night asking for nude images, the schools watchdog for England says.
In an Ofsted survey, girls explained that if they blocked boys on social media "they just create multiple accounts to harass you".
The report also found nine in 10 girls experienced sexist name-calling or were sent explicit photos or videos.
The watchdog is warning that sexual harassment has become "normalised" among school-age children.
Students often do not see the point of reporting abuse and many teachers underestimate the scale of these problems, Ofsted says.
In the survey, girls said boys "just won't take no for an answer" when asking for explicit images.
At one school, the girls told inspectors they can be contacted by up to 10 or 11 different boys a night asking for nude or semi-nude images.
Women's groups are calling for school staff to be trained to change the culture and for a government taskforce.
Ministers say schools and colleges will be encouraged to dedicate training days to help staff deal with sexual abuse.
A BBC investigation has revealed at least 13,000 sex offences a year between under-18s have been reported to police in England and Wales between 2018 and 2020.
Thirty police forces responded to a Freedom of Information request which revealed in about 2,000 cases, both the alleged victim and perpetrator were aged 10 or under.
About 1,000 of the reported offences were about events happening on school premises.
This echoes Ofsted's finding that inappropriate sexual behaviour is filtering down into primary schools.

Was surprised this was not shared on here yesterday so i figured i would link it myself.
I would have shared it, but found there's nothing that can be said other than how horrifying it is that children are being exposed to such abuse
at all let alone at such a young age.
I don't think staff training days is enough.
Compulsory education has to be given in schools, beginning with what constitutes consent and what a healthy relationship is (that some children think this abuse is love is... I could cry), and moving onto abuse and pressure and what to do if subjected to it -- including that it is never the victim's fault (it's terrible to read of the girl who was blamed by her peers for being raped). All schools should also have systems in place for dealing with this, and those steps should be followed through (the police should not just be an empty scare tactic for assemblies).
