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 enquiries@theschoolrun.com. 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.

Brackets revision

Brackets revision worksheet
Brackets are used to separate off an extra piece of information in a sentence. Without the information in the brackets, the sentence would still make sense. Look at these sentences. Where do you think the brackets should go?


Keystage:  KS2, Year 6, 11 Plus

In KS2 English, brackets are introduced as a way to add extra information to a sentence, helping children understand how to use them effectively.

Children learn that brackets (also called parentheses) are used to enclose additional details that aren’t essential to the main sentence but give extra context or clarification. 

For example:

The book (which I borrowed last week) was very interesting. 

The information in brackets gives extra detail about when the book was borrowed, but the sentence would still make sense without it.

How will this brackets revision worksheet help my child?

This teacher-created resource will help your KS2 child practise using brackets by encouraging them to identify where brackets should be placed in the sentences provided. There is a clear explanation to remind them about how brackets are used, and the colourful layout will make this feel like a fun activity and not another piece of homework!
