Not sure it's quite this simple; look at the overall case by specimen and age demographics graphs on https://coronavirus.data.gov.uk/details/cases?areaType=natio... (England only, because the data for rUK isn't available).

Note the peak is around a week _prior_ the end of the school term in England (23 July), and this is true across basically all age groups.

The Euro finals were on 11th July and for a lot of schools the holidays started on the 15th July

Most of England's private schools broke up one week prior to the state schools.
