Important update from TheSchoolRun

For the past 13 years, TheSchoolRun has been run by a small team of mums working from home, dedicated to providing quality educational resources to primary school parents. Unfortunately, rising supplier costs and falling revenue have made it impossible for us to continue operating, and we’ve had to make the difficult decision to close. The good news: We’ve arranged for another educational provider to take over many of our resources. These will be hosted on a new portal, where the content will be updated and expanded to support your child’s learning.

What this means for subscribers:

  • Your subscription is still active, and for now, you can keep using the website as normal — just log in with your usual details to access all our articles and resources*.
  • In a few months, all resources will move to the new portal. You’ll continue to have access there until your subscription ends. We’ll send you full details nearer the time.
  • As a thank you for your support, we’ll also be sending you 16 primary school eBooks (worth £108.84) to download and keep.

A few changes to be aware of:

  • The Learning Journey weekly email has ended, but your child’s plan will still be updated on your dashboard each Monday. Just log in to see the recommended worksheets.
  • The 11+ weekly emails have now ended. We sent you all the remaining emails in the series at the end of March — please check your inbox (and spam folder) if you haven’t seen them. You can also follow the full programme here: 11+ Learning Journey.

If you have any questions, please contact us at [email protected]. Thank you for being part of our journey it’s been a privilege to support your family’s learning.

*If you need to reset your password, it will still work as usual. Please check your spam folder if the reset email doesn’t appear in your inbox.

KS2 SATs Grammar, punctuation and spelling practice paper E

KS2 SATs Grammar, punctuation and spelling TheSchool Run practice paper E
Practise the grammar, punctuation and spelling skills required for the KS2 SATs test with your child with our 'mock' papers. Written in the style of the KS2 Grammar, punctuation and spelling test, the practice papers offer at-home revision opportunities for children taking the Y6 tests in May.


Keystage:  KS2, Year 6

Since 2016, children in Year 6 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 give your child valuable exam practice.



For more information about the new grammar test read our parents' guide to the KS2 Grammar, punctuation and spelling SATs.

How to use the SPAG test practice papers

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.



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.



Answers and marking sheets are provided to help you look through your child's work and identify any areas they find tricky.



You can download four further practice tests, exclusive to TheSchoolRun subscribers, to help your child prepare for the KS2 Grammar, punctuation and spelling test at home; click on the images below to go to each individual test.
