Important update from TheSchoolRun

For the past 13 years, TheSchoolRun has been run by a small team of mums working from home, dedicated to providing quality educational resources to primary school parents. Unfortunately, rising supplier costs and falling revenue have made it impossible for us to continue operating, and we’ve had to make the difficult decision to close. The good news: We’ve arranged for another educational provider to take over many of our resources. These will be hosted on a new portal, where the content will be updated and expanded to support your child’s learning.

What this means for subscribers:

  • Your subscription is still active, and for now, you can keep using the website as normal — just log in with your usual details to access all our articles and resources*.
  • In a few months, all resources will move to the new portal. You’ll continue to have access there until your subscription ends. We’ll send you full details nearer the time.
  • As a thank you for your support, we’ll also be sending you 16 primary school eBooks (worth £108.84) to download and keep.

A few changes to be aware of:

  • The Learning Journey weekly email has ended, but your child’s plan will still be updated on your dashboard each Monday. Just log in to see the recommended worksheets.
  • The 11+ weekly emails have now ended. We sent you all the remaining emails in the series at the end of March — please check your inbox (and spam folder) if you haven’t seen them. You can also follow the full programme here: 11+ Learning Journey.

If you have any questions, please contact us at [email protected]. Thank you for being part of our journey it’s been a privilege to support your family’s learning.

*If you need to reset your password, it will still work as usual. Please check your spam folder if the reset email doesn’t appear in your inbox.

The Learning Journey Programme

learning plan

Sign up for TheSchoolRun's Learning Journey programme, created by teachers and trusted by thousands of parents, and we'll create a weekly learning plan to follow with your child. 

Because you're a busy parent who doesn't have hours each week to search for resources to support your child's learning, we've done the hard work for you:
 

  • We've created targeted resources for your child's school year, which track the National Curriculum.
     
  • We've mixed colourful worksheets with interactive tutorials, fun activities and games, so your child will love completing them.
     
  • And we deliver them to your child's learning plan every week!
     

So all you have to do is find 10 minutes a week to browse through the resources we've recommended and choose which ones you want your child to complete.

And there are fun games, reward charts and certificates to use along the way to make it an exciting learning journey for your child as well.

What you can expect each week

Once you start the programme, we'll create a learning plan for each of your children (from Nursery to Year 6).

Visit the home page each week and you'll find new resources waiting for you, including:
 

  • 1 maths & 1 English worksheet, activity or game: These will focus on a core topic that your child will be learning in school this term.
     
  • An interactive maths tutorial: Our digital teacher explains the topic, shows your child examples of it and then gives your child a chance to practise what they've learned by completing on-screen tasks.
     
  • Guides for parents on the topics your child is learning, so you can explain it to them.
     
  • PLUS science experiments and topic-focused activity packs for you to explore if you have time to spare.
     

Here's a typical weekly dashboard for a Year 4 child:

learning plan

We'll update your learning plan every week for you.

And just in case you forget to log in, we'll also email you every Wednesday with links to the week's resources, as well as top tips from our teachers on how to complete them.

As promised, we've done all the hard work for you!

You can download the worksheets you want your child to complete or get hands on with an interactive tutorial. And if you haven't got time to do the activity right now, you can save it and come back to it another time.

And if you want to track your child's progress through the programme, you can do that too! In the My Saved Resources section you can assign resources to different children and you can mark them as completed once they're done.

Support for the whole of primary school

Start this unique, at-home learning programme with your child and you could be just a few activities a week away from ensuring your child’s success at school for the whole of their primary school journey.

Here’s why we believe this is the most powerful advantage you can give your child at school

The reason is simple: the Learning Journey programme covers all of the core maths and English skills of the National Curriculum that your child will be taught during each school year.

And because there is such a mix of activities to choose from – printable, interactive, games and more – it's not going to be a chore for you or your child.

In fact, parents who have joined the programme tell us they can't believe how easy it is to follow, how eager their children are to complete the week's activities, and how much they've grown in confidence.

'I have been so impressed with TheSchoolRun and have really enjoyed completing your weekly programme with my two older children. It's a great site and resource.' – Claire, London

'The Learning Journey is really useful as it provides activities by year group and is flexible. You can choose to help your child work through it, or just select areas that you feel would be of most benefit to them.' – Survey respondent
