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.

Optional SATs papers: Y5 maths 2006

Optional SATs papers: Y5 maths 2006
Use these Year 5 maths optional SATs papers from 2006, free to download, to help your child revise their numerical knowledge at the end of Y5 and identify areas they need extra support with.
Keystage:  KS2, Year 5

Prior to 2016, children in some schools took optional SATs in Years 3, 4 and 5. In 2016, the SATs system changed in line with the new National Curriculum. These 2006 KS2 Year 5 maths optional SATs papers were previously used to assess pupil progress at the end of the school year. These are the 'old-style' optional SATs but are still useful for exam practice.

This pack includes:

  • Y5 maths SATs 2003 paper A 
  • Y5 maths SATs 2003 paper B 
  • Mental maths pupil answer sheet
  • Teachers' guide and mark scheme, paper A and paper B
  • Mental maths test transcript

All the papers and marking materials have been merged into one easy download for you.

The Y5 maths optional SATs consists of three papers: Paper A, Paper B and a mental maths test. In schools children would complete one paper and the mental maths test on one day and the other paper on the following day. Calculators are no longer used in primary schools, but when these tests were administered, they were not allowed when completing Paper A, but could be used for Paper B.
