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to keep our content available through a partnership with another educational provider, but this provider has since withdrawn from the agreement.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.
Gifted and talented learning activities for KS1 and KS2
Enrichment is looking at academic subjects – and the world around us – in more depth. For our new learning pack, Gifted and talented learning activities for KS1 and KS2, headteacher and G&T expert John Senior has prepared 30 curriculum-linked projects to take you and your primary-school child on a voyage of discovery. No special or expensive learning resources are required – access to a green space, some old documents, a library and a stack of cardboard boxes are all you need. Each activity is designed to stimulate creativity, boost your child’s enthusiasm for creative thinking and, most of all, be great fun! You’ll be…
- Mapping and analyzing street furniture
- Imitating farmyard noises – and using them to create a unique poem
- ‘Sailing’ to distant lands and learning about wind and weather
