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.

Optional SATs papers: Y4 maths set B

TheSchoolRun optional SATs papers: Y4 maths set B
If you'd like your child to sit a Year 4 end-of-summer-term test to check their understanding of Year 4 maths, download our subscriber-only mock optional SATs paper, written by a primary-school teacher to mirror the topics typically covered in the old-style Year 4 maths optional SATs tests.


Keystage:  KS2, Year 4

Optional SATs were used in some primary schools up until 2015 to assess children's progress at the end of the school year in years 3, 4 and 5. Only a very limited number of official optional SATs past papers were available to parents for Y3, Y4 and Y5 English and maths (you can download them for free from TheSchoolRun), so we commissioned our own 'mock' papers.

Since 2016, children have taken new SATs exams, reflecting the revised National Curriculum. These mock papers were written to reflect the old curriculum, but can still be used to familiarise your child with the kind of questions they will find in the official papers.

Year 4 maths optional SATs, set B includes:

  • Y4 maths SATs practice paper B
  • Mental maths pupil answer sheet
  • Mental maths test transcript for the parent to read
  • Mark scheme

All the papers and marking materials have been merged into one easy download.

Children should be given 45 minutes to complete the written practice paper B.

Official SATs in KS1 and KS2

You'll find answers to all your questions about SATs in Year 2 in Your KS1 SATs questions answered.
