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to keep our content available through a partnership with another educational provider, but this provider has since withdrawn from the agreement.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.
Key Stage 1 SATs English practice papers D
Since 2016, new SATs exams in English and maths have been administered to children in Year 2. These mock papers, available exclusively for TheSchoolRun subscribers, are based on the old SATs format, but can still be used to give your child valuable exam practice.
In these papers, your child will need to read an information text and a story text and answer questions about them, as well as completing a writing assignment and a spelling test, to work through this KS1 English SATs-style paper. Answers are provided so you can mark their work; you can also make suggestions to help improve their writing with our tips on how the KS1 writing task is assessed.
This is a Level 3 SATs paper (the former level for more able Year 2 children). Read up about SATs levels and what they meant, as well as the new primary grading system from 2016, and find more English practice papers on the site, both Level 3 and Level 2 (the old average for the typical seven-year-old; set A and set C).
For more information and advice about KS1 SATs head to our Year 2 SATs content area.
You can also follow a KS1 SATs Learning Journey, packed with worksheets and activities to help boost your child's confidence in the run-up to the Y2 maths and English assessments.
