I’m looking for resources aimed at children aged 5-11 that teachers can use in the classroom to teach about gender, gender equality and gender variance. Any ideas?

Well that’s a very wide age range, but for 5-6 year olds, The Paper Bag Princess is a classic and very discussable and cute.
Bill’s New Frock, by Anne Fine!
Bank Street keeps a nice up-to-date meta-list for resources on gender non-conformity in kids: http://libguides.bankstreet.edu/transchildren
there’s also a nice list here on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Picture-Coloring-Gender-Variant-Children/lm/R8KCIUYCOC239
“Accepting Dad” also has a good list here: http://www.acceptingdad.com/supportive-book-media-for-gender-variant-non-conforming-kids/
And is the Gruffalo a woman? There is a Gruffalo’s Child as a sequel but I read them so long ago I can’t remember if there was a Mother&Father origin. But that is probably too young for your audience.
for the little’uns, todd parr’s books are nice happy inclusive books. tho not specifically focussed on gender, they look at things like non-trad non-hetero families, etc. and eric carle’s ‘mister seahorse’ is a pretty run-down of species in which the males gestate.
(or “gestates”. fish don’t actually gestate, eh?)
King and King is also nice for the small ones.
ah! and ‘and tango makes three’!
This is about gender and careers: http://www.equalityhumanrights.com/advice-and-guidance/a-free-primary-careers-education-resource/
(lesson 2 is about challenging stereotypes http://www.equalityhumanrights.com/advice-and-guidance/a-free-primary-careers-education-resource/resource-bank/ )

Thanks very much for all of your suggestions. In particular, thanks Heg! I don’t know why I didn’t think to check out the EHRC before – they’ve got loads of great resources on all kinds of inequality issues.
