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.

Win copy of The Story of Babur: Prince, Emperor, Sage

The Story of Babur: Prince, Emperor, Sage, illustrated by award-winning artist Jane Ray and published by Scala Arts Books, is the children’s adaptation of the great epic of Central Asia, the Baburnama, which tells the story of the great warrior-king Babur.

Babur’s life reads like a fairytale from the Arabian Nights: he was crowned King aged 12; became the ruler of the glittering Samarkand aged 15; was soon defeated and had to flee.

Later on he set up his Court in Kabul (in Babur’s times, Afghanistan was a lively arts centre in Central Asia) and finally he went on to conquer Northern India where he founded the Moghul Empire.

The Moghuls have left behind a wonderful arts & architecture heritage that includes the Taj Mahal.

This adaptation for younger readers (Key Stage 2) will introduce them to this classic of world literature and to Babur’s exciting adventures of discovery and conquest.

There are 6 copies of The Story of Babur, to be won in this competition. Answer the question below for your chance to win a copy worth £12.95 (rrp).
