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to keep our content available through a partnership with another educational provider, but this provider has since withdrawn from the agreement.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.

Brackets revision

Brackets revision worksheet
Brackets are used to separate off an extra piece of information in a sentence. Without the information in the brackets, the sentence would still make sense. Look at these sentences. Where do you think the brackets should go?


Keystage:  KS2, Year 6, 11 Plus

In KS2 English, brackets are introduced as a way to add extra information to a sentence, helping children understand how to use them effectively.

Children learn that brackets (also called parentheses) are used to enclose additional details that aren’t essential to the main sentence but give extra context or clarification. 

For example:

The book (which I borrowed last week) was very interesting. 

The information in brackets gives extra detail about when the book was borrowed, but the sentence would still make sense without it.

How will this brackets revision worksheet help my child?

This teacher-created resource will help your KS2 child practise using brackets by encouraging them to identify where brackets should be placed in the sentences provided. There is a clear explanation to remind them about how brackets are used, and the colourful layout will make this feel like a fun activity and not another piece of homework!
