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to keep our content available through a partnership with another educational provider, but this provider has since withdrawn from the agreement.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

Understanding and working with probability and estimates are core maths skills that your child will be taught at primary school, and probably at some stage they'll come home with homework to help reinforce learning in this area.
Explore probability worksheets and estimates resources
Probability tells us how likely something is to happen and estimating means roughly calculating or judging a number or value.
If you child comes to you for help with a probability question or has to do some estimating practice, you'll need to understand how the subjects are taught in school nowadays and what the National Curriculum objectives are for your child's school year. Read up on key concepts like probability, chance and likelihood, how to use estimation to help with calculations (like how much an elephant weighs) and how probability can be described in words, or more accurately in terms of fractions and percentages.
Then explore our useful, teacher-created worksheets, all divided by school year, including how to understand the language of probability, estimate and measure time, probability word problems and using estimating to check calculations.
Want to make it fun? Have a go at our Probability Piranhas game, Estimate the price game or Make a spinning top game. All these resources are PDF downloads that you can easily print out, and they include answers.
