I just did a quick google and found this. So...
First of all, the regulations only apply if the website is distributing the material ‘on a commercial basis’: that is, if they earn money or other benefits, such as through advertising, even if the material itself is free for users. As well as this, the regulations won’t apply if adult material makes up less than a third of all content on the website.
So, as a random example, wouldn't a website like Twitter be exempt? Even Reddit, chock-full of porn as it is, will probably have <1/3 of content be 'adult' material, right? (Btw, not sure how they'll be measuring this, but hey)
On both sites, hardcore pornography is easily accessible, you don't even need an account. And that's just two HUGE websites, I'm sure there's a decent amount of porn on other nominally non-porn websites I don't know of.
Basically what I'm saying is: you don't even need a proxy or go onto piratebay, there's loads of stuff freely accessible out there and you can bet even non-tech-savvy horny teenagers will find it.

Even if you are, kids are sharing explicit sexual materials at schools now.
Besides... Tor or a Proxy, then onto the PirateBay which already has lots of stuff, kids are savvy enough to bypass this.
And that stuff works on phones as well so locking down your home internet won't work.
Better to also upgrade the UK sex-ed, but the "won't anybody think of the children" brigade usually objects to that also.
