More than 1,000 parents with children at pre-school, school and colleges in England responded to the survey, carried out between 9 and 26 March.

Those who reported feeling well informed about what their children are learning were most likely to say the school has handed the pandemic well.

Seven in ten respondents said they had received guidance or training to help support remote learning. Parents of primary school children were more likely to state this.

However, two-thirds reported being concerned about the impact of Covid-19 on their child’s learning loss. Parents were also concerned about the impact on their child’s mental and physical health.
