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to keep our content available through a partnership with another educational provider, but this provider has since withdrawn from the agreement.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

Keystage:  KS2, Year 6

Level 6 SATs were advanced level SATs taken by Year 6 children who were excelling in English and/or maths between 2012 and 2014. Under the new SATs system, introduced in 2016, there are no longer additional papers for high achievers. Instead, all children take the same tests, but they will include questions designed to let the most able children show their knowledge and skills. However, the old Level 6 papers can still be used to help your child prepare for SATs. 

This pack includes:

  • English Reading Booklet
  • Reading Answer Booklet
  • Longer Task Writing Booklet
  • Writing booklet: Shorter and Longer Tasks

The test papers have been merged into one easy download for you.

You can also download the answers and marking scheme so you can look through your child's work and compare it with what teachers and examiners are looking for.
