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to keep our content available through a partnership with another educational provider, but this provider has since withdrawn from the agreement.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.
Reading a pictogram
What is a pictogram?
A pictogram is like a picture that represents information or data. Instead of using words or numbers to show something, like how many people like different colours, it uses little pictures or symbols instead.
What is an example of a pictogram?
Below is an example of a pictogram that indicates how many cupcakes were sold each day. One image of a cupcake represents six cupcakes.
Example question:
How many cupcakes were sold on Thursday?
Answer: 21
How will this KS1 pictogram activity help my child?
This expert-created free activity will help your child understand how to read pictogram and practise answering questions related to the data represented by the images.
What is the activity?
A cupcake shop has opened on the High Street and it’s been very popular! You must read the pictogram and answer the questions (answers provided). Your child will need to be able to count in 6s.
For a fun interactive activity, try our pictogram tutorial, or have a go at another printable activity like Interpreting pictograms (for KS2).
