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to keep our content available through a partnership with another educational provider, but this provider has since withdrawn from the agreement.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.
Phonics Learning Journey
Phonics is the method used to teach children to read, but phonemes, graphemes and decoding can be a bit of a mystery to parents. Follow TheSchoolRun's Phonics Learning Journey for a structured series of phonics worksheets and activities, prepared by primary-school teachers to help your child put their new skills into practice at home.
Phonics sounds (known as 'phonemes') are taught in a specific order in the classroom. Read our parents' guide to phonics teaching and understand the importance of phonics phases before you start working your way through the worksheets.
The Phonics Learning Journey covers phonics essentials for Reception and Year 1, but you can also look through our 200+ phonics worksheets for more practice opportunities or to find an activity to help with a sound your child finds tricky.
Visit the phonics hub for advice and information for parents, including our pick of the best phonics tools for kids, common phonics problems and how to boost your child's phonics confidence.
If your child is in Year 1, download Y1 Phonics Screening Check official past papers and TheSchoolRun mock phonics tests to help you prepare for the Year 1 Phonics Screening Check.
