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to keep our content available through a partnership with another educational provider, but this provider has since withdrawn from the agreement.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:

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.

Penelope Pennywise is a very sensible (and scarily organised!) girl. She’s decided to make sure that she will have enough money each month to spend on her friends’ and family members’ birthdays. Here’s some information (some of it is important, some of it isn’t) about Penelope’s plan, and a list of birthdays throughout the year. Use the tally chart to help you work out how much Penelope will need to spend each month on birthdays. Will she be able to buy presents for everyone on her list?
