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.

Learning Journey Progress Checks

or Register to add to your saved resources

There are six Progress Checks for each school year (one for each school term in English and maths). Each Progress Check includes questions on the areas of learning that your child will be covering in that school term. Just get your child to take the test, then check the answers we provide and you'll see straight away if your child has grasped each of these learning skills.

If there is a question they've got wrong, we'll have a worksheet targeted at this specific skill so you can easily revise it with them. Or if your child answers all the questions easily, you might want to see how they perform with a more advanced test.

Use these tests in conjunction with a personalised learning programme

These new Progress Checks are linked to TheSchoolRun's Learning Journey programme and can be used in conjunction with it in two different ways:

Fast-track version: At the end of each school term, get your child to take the relevant English and maths Progress check. Look through the answers to see exactly how well your child is doing and whether there any areas where they are struggling. If there are gaps in their knowledge, print out the appropriate worksheets from the Learning Journey to revise these areas.

Full version: If you’re already following the weekly learning programme we’re sending you by email, use the appropriate Progress check at the end of the term to check that your child has fully mastered everything we’ve covered in the Learning Journey that term.

The Progress Checks themselves are free to use (you'll just need to log into TheSchoolRun.com to download them). You can then decide if you want to take out a trial subscription to TheSchoolRun to access the Learning Journey programme.
