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to keep our content available through a partnership with another educational provider, but this provider has since withdrawn from the agreement.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.
KS2 SATs Grammar, punctuation and spelling practice paper A
The KS2 Grammar, punctuation and spelling test was introduced in 2013 and is a key part of the English SATs your child will take in Year 6. These practice tests have been written to include a variety of question types and cover all of the areas of grammar and punctuation that primary children are required to master.
These papers have been written in the style of SATs papers, to offer your child extra practice resources. Since 2016, children in Year 2 have taken new SATs exams in English and maths to reflect the 2014 National Curriculum.
These mock papers, available exclusively for TheSchoolRun subscribers, are based on the old SATs format and content, but can still be used to offer your child valuable exam practice.
How to use these papers
Allow your child to complete the tests in a quiet room without any help.
If possible, time the test and allow them around 30 minutes to complete the grammar and punctuation section.
The spelling section should take approximately 15 minutes to complete and will require you to read out each sentence twice with emphasis placed on the underlined word. Look in the answer section for the transcript for each spelling test.
Following the test, it will really help your child to sit down and work through the answers together – use the mark sheets provided. Remember to talk about what they have achieved and review any questions they may have tripped up on. Encourage them to look carefully at the different question types so they feel confident about how to answer them quickly and accurately.
As with anything new, reassure your child that this test is simply a way of checking what they have been learning in class. Talking through the test and praising their understanding will really help them to feel confident and achieve their very best in May!
