- 5-star review on Trustpilot from Anne-Marie Allman

I loved that the 11+ Programme built up each skill slowly but you knew that everything would be covered by the end.

- Christine

We found TheSchoolRun collateral very useful, timely, fun and relevant for our Y6 child. He went on to attain superb SATs results, with all the hard work definitely making a huge difference.

- Neil , Warrington

TheSchoolRun worksheets are so colourful, crafty, interactive and fun, that they are the first resource our children (6 & 7) presently go-to without much direction at all!
