Schools will also have to tell parents if their children want to change their gender, wear different uniforms, or start using different pronouns.
Those who identify as trans should also be barred from using toilets and changing rooms set up for the opposite sex, the advice will say.
Government insiders said it was unfair for biological boys who identify as girls to take part in competitive school sport against biological girls.
One said: “In sports like rugby, it would be dangerous and unfair as biological boys are bigger and stronger.
“Headteachers will be allowed to have mixed PE lessons where that is not such a worry — for example, tennis.
“But when sport is competitive, or when safety is a concern, girls’ spaces should be protected.” Ministers drew up the guidance amid fears child safety is at risk with woke gender ID theories in schools.
Nearly half of England’s secondary schools let pupils self- identify without telling their parents, a report had revealed.
PM Rishi Sunak will release the guidelines within weeks.
It is not in breach of Equality Act rules as there is an exemption for competitive sport.
