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 Coronation is just around the corner – a day that marks the crowning of King Charles III. In the UK there will be a bank holiday on Monday 6th May. The public are encouraged to hold their own celebrations and can watch the procession on television. It's a big event in British history and TheSchoolRun wanted to share some fun activities that will keeps the kids entertained and feeling like part of the festivities. 

 

What is a coronation? 

A coronation is a royal tradition that marks the crowning of a monarch (a king or queen) and announces the bestowing of their regal powers (the powers given to a king or queen). In the UK, the monarch is presented with royal objects and the crown is placed on their head. This is a big day in UK history and the first coronation since 1953! 

Who is King Charles III? 

King Charles III is the King of the United Kingdom. He used to be known as the Prince of Wales, but after Queen Elizabeth II died on the 8th September 2022, he was given the new title of King of the United Kingdom. He is also the new Head of the Commonwealth, which includes 54 countries across the globe. He was born in 1948 and, at the age of 74, is the oldest person to take the throne. 

How do people celebrate? 

People celebrate royal events in many different ways. Some cafes, pubs and restaurants will host coronation events and people can watch the procession on a large television. There will be lots of decorations in windows and some streets will hold parties for people who live there.
