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.
7+ Learning Journey
The 7+ is the entrance exam children sit when applying to independent schools for entry in Year 3.
The admissions procedure for 7+ entry varies between schools, but in most cases children complete maths and English tests, and in some cases a reasoning test too (read our 7+ guide for parents for more detail about what to expect).
The 7+ test papers tend to be around 30 minutes long and may be written or computer-based papers.
7+ entrance exams usually take place early in the spring term, for entry the following September.
There is no standard 7+ paper used by all schools; instead each school will set their own test. That can be a challenge if you want to do some preparation in the run-up to the test, but it's worth asking the school if any past papers or practice materials are available to applicants.
The following worksheets cover the English and maths skills required to complete the 7+ in most of the sample papers TheSchoolRun has looked through. From reading comprehension and grammar to an understanding of primary geometry and multiplication and division, working through this set of Y2 and Y3 worksheets will help your structure your 7+ practice in the run-up to the tests.
