My school used to warn us we would be made to do PE in our undies if we forgot our kit. I don't remember it ever happening to anyone, so it might have been an empty threat. None of us wanted to test it however!

We did all have to change together (boys and girls) in the same classroom at junior school. At first this didn't matter to us. But by the time we were aged 7 or 8, it was getting exciting to see an opposite sex classmate in their underwear, and a source of shame for them to see you in yours. We started changing on opposite sides of the classroom, and trying to hide behind desks or behind each other to avoid being seen.

Our teachers used to tell us we were being silly and it didn't matter, but we knew otherwise!

Brits can be excessively modest, but my experience was young boys swam nude. I mean always in PE swim class and in lakes. Few had pools more than landscape tarp and well and filters. I also vaguely remember using an outdoor kids pool under 8 and had no shame from it. Going nude in summer was just a gift you gave girls. At time a few giggled and few did not care.

As far as normal gym went boys always played shoorts versus skins in teams. I think some boys played in boxers shorts but that is fuzzy now.
