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to keep our content available through a partnership with another educational provider, but this provider has since withdrawn from the agreement.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 taster pack
Phonics is a reading teaching method which shows children how to link sounds (phonemes) and the letter symbols that represent them (graphemes).
In UK primary schools, children learn phonics in phases: in Nursery children learn environmental sounds (Phase 1 Phonics), in Reception they learn the sounds that letters make (Phase 2 and 3) and more complicated spelling patterns and tricky words (Phase 4) and in Year 1 they learn new ways of spelling each sound, alternative pronunciations and about split digraphs (Phase 5).
