Many parents whose children attended school reported low adherence to hygiene measures (eg, not maintaining distance from others during school drop-off) and doubted that their school was adhering to COVID-19 guidelines. A total of 2010 parents completed the survey in full (16 responses were coded as missing data because of sample grouping inconsistencies): 621 did not have a child eligible for school; 803 had children in reception, year 1 or year6 ('eligible year groups'); 570 parents reported that they or their spouse was a key worker and that they did not have a child in an eligible year group.
