IQR interquartile range; CI confidence interval; ICC intra-class correlation; PA physical activity

aBased on a complete case analysis, adjusted difference at follow-up between randomised groups with 95% confidence interval, p value and ICC for schools; adjusted for cluster effect, baseline value, participant year group, school %free school meal eligibility and stratification categories (school size and percentage of non-White pupils)

bScore ranges from 1 = ‘very unlikely’ to 7 = ‘very likely’

cScale ranges from 1 = ‘very unimportant’ to 10 = ‘very important’

dScore ranges from 1 = ‘disagree a lot’ to 5 = ‘agree a lot’

eScore ranges from 1 = ‘strongly disagree’ to 5 = ‘strongly agree’

fScore ranges from 1 = ‘strongly disagree’ to’ 7 = ‘strongly agree’

gScore ranges from 1 = ‘no not at all’ to 5 = ‘yes a lot’
