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.
Year 6 SATs

Key Stage 2 SATs take place in the summer term of Year 6. Your child will spend a large proportion of the year preparing for these tests in school and will benefit from any extra support you can offer at home.
In this section of the site, as well as Key Stage 2 SATS past papers you'll find lots of advice on what topics are covered in the KS2 SATs, helping your child revise, revision plans, tips to keep your child calm and supporting your child after SATs.
KS2 SATs had a complete overhaul in May 2016 tests, and now mirror the new primary national curriculum. For more information about the format and schedule of the tests read our parents' guide to KS2 SATs.
You can also check out our unique KS2 SATs revision programme.
Worksheets
