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to keep our content available through a partnership with another educational provider, but this provider has since withdrawn from the agreement.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

Learning about subtraction starts in the very first year of primary school and is developed right the way through to Year 6.
Boost your child's subtraction skills with targeted resources
If your child is struggling to answer subtraction questions, before you can help them you need to be sure you understand the concepts, terminology (minus, take away, difference between etc) and techniques yourself. We explain each subtraction method, such as using partitioning to subtract or the subtraction column method.
Then explore our teacher-created subtraction worksheets, which are all in line with National Curriculum objectives, to help your child cement their subtraction knowledge. From KS1 maths subtraction topics like counting back in hops, subtraction on a number line, two-digit subtraction and three-digit subtraction to KS2 maths subtraction topics like horizontal subtraction and decimal subtraction, you can filter the worksheets by school year to find the right level for your child.
And if you want some on-screen learning, our interactive subtraction tutorials cover topics including subtracting fractions with the same denominators, subtracting a hundreds number from a three-digit number and checking calculations with the inverse operation.
There's even more... Our Teach your child subtraction eBook is an overview of everything your child will be taught about subtraction in primary school and is packed with even more downloadable subtraction worksheets for each school year and fun subtraction games.

Teach your child subtraction
Teach your child subtraction is an eBook and home-teaching kit which will help you understand exactly what subtraction skills your child is expected to have mastered in each year of the primary school curriculum.
Primary school teacher and parent Matt Revill has compiled information, tips and activities to ensure that you have the right information at your fingertips so you can quickly make sure your child has fully grasped and achieved each and every skill for their correct year group and using the same methods that they are taught (rather than confusing them with the one you were taught at school!).
You'll be able to print off highly targeted and child-friendly fun worksheets to help them master each of the essential skills as they progress through school – in fun, five-minute sessions.
Teach your child subtraction is a downloadable, printable eBook, available for £4.99.

A great pack for holidays or to complete in preparation for KS1 SATs, the puzzles and games make revision fun and can be completed by the whole family. Enjoy!

The Parents' Guide to Subtraction
Number lines, the counting on method and 'borrowing' numbers are all covered in our parents' guide to subtraction, a complete overview of what your child will be taught about 'taking away' numbers at primary school.

Maths Homework Helper
Maths is a core skill within the primary national curriculum. As we use maths every day, it is also a vital skill for life. But, some of us still dread our child coming home and asking for help with their maths homework, as learning methods and terminology are sometimes different from how we were taught.
If this sounds like you, you'll find the Maths Homework Helper eBook an immensely useful resource for two reasons. Firstly, it collates the main topics your child will need to know. Secondly, it acts as a refresher course for you, so you can revisit each topic and understand just what your child is learning during class time. It covers the crucial topics of numbers, using numbers, measures, shape and space, and data handling, so you and your child will be able to learn, understand and use maths skills in everyday situations.
There are also helpful rules to remember, a jargon-busting guide to key maths language, plus tips and ideas to help your child continue their learning away from their text books. With Maths Homework Helper, you will never be stumped by your child's primary maths homework again!
