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.
Key Stage 1 SATs English practice papers C
Since 2016, children in Year 2 have taken a new style of SATs exam in English and maths to reflect the updated National Curriculum. These practice papers, available exclusively to subscribers, are based on the old-style KS1 SATs, used up until 2015, but can still be used to give your child at-home exam practice.
Commissioned by TheSchoolRun to help you and your child feel confident about the SATs format and style, this KS1 paper offers information texts and story texts to read, comprehension questions to answer, spelling tests and a writing task.
Answers are included to help you mark the paper, or read teacher Alice Hart's explanation of what examiners are looking for in year 2 writing to understand how to help your child improve their work.
You'll find information and advice about all aspects of KS1 SATs in our Y2 assessments hub page.
Our KS1 SATs Learning Journey offers revision worksheets for the areas of maths and English tested in the end-of-key-stage tests.
