TheSchoolRun.com closure date

As we informed you a few months ago, TheSchoolRun has had to make the difficult decision to close due to financial pressures and the company has now ceased trading. We had hoped to keep our content available through a partnership with another educational provider, but this provider has since withdrawn from the agreement.

As a result, we now have to permanently close TheSchoolRun.com. However, to give subscribers time to download any content they’d like to keep, we will keep the website open until 31st July 2025. After this date, the site will be taken down and there will be no further access to any resources. We strongly encourage you to download and save any resources you think you may want to use in the future.

In particular, we suggest downloading:

You should already have received 16 primary school eBooks (worth £108.84) to download and keep. If you haven’t received these, please contact us at [email protected] before 31st July 2025, and we will send them to you.

We are very sorry that there is no way to continue offering access to resources and sincerely apologise for the inconvenience caused.

Key Stage 1 SATs English practice papers C TheSchoolRun
By completing practice papers your child will become familiar with the SATs format and feel more confident about the Year 2 assessment process. This download (based on the pre-2016 SATs format) includes tasks similar to those required by the KS1 SATs, from reading comprehension to spelling tests.
Keystage:  KS1, Year 2

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.
