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to keep our content available through a partnership with another educational provider, but this provider has since withdrawn from the agreement.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

What are irregular plural nouns in English?

Irregular plurals are special forms that some nouns take when they mean more than one. Usually, when we want to make a noun plural, we just add an 's' or 'es' to the end of it: cat becomes cats, or dog becomes dogs. 

However, there are some words in English that don't follow this rule. Instead of adding 's' or 'es,' they change in a different way altogether. These words are called irregular plurals.
