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to keep our content available through a partnership with another educational provider, but this provider has since withdrawn from the agreement.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:
- Learning packs
- All the worksheets from the 11+ programme, if you are following this with your child
- Complete Learning Journey programmes (the packs below include all 40 worksheets for each programme)
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.
Calculating ratios
What is ratio?
A ratio is a way of comparing two or more quantities or values. It is often expressed as a fraction or with a colon (:). Ratios are used to describe the relationship between different things and can be found in various aspects of our daily lives.
Imagine you have a basket of fruits with 3 apples and 2 oranges. The ratio of apples to oranges in the basket is 3:2. This means for every 3 apples, there are 2 oranges.
How do I use this KS2 ratio worksheet?
This colourful and fun KS2 ratio worksheet provides your child with a clear example of how ratios work and then asks them to use their skills to share out the bags of money according to the given ratio. Once they've completed this task, there are some real-world questions about length and distance that will help your child to become familiar with exam-style questions. The answers are provided on the next page.
If you think your child needs more practise to consolidate their understanding of ratio, why not try our other downloadable worksheets, such as Understanding ratios and Reducing ratios to their lowest terms.
