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to keep our content available through a partnership with another educational provider, but this provider has since withdrawn from the agreement.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.
What educational value do SATs have?

Schools are accused of drilling children for SATs, devoting too much teaching time to their preparation and neglecting other subjects. Plus there are concerns that the assessments provide misleading results, are counter-productive and stressful for children. So it’s no wonder there is so much controversy surrounding the tests and their educational worth.

Are they an unnecessary source of stress?
The future of SATs
Assessment has always been a part of school life, but whether it will remain part of a nationalised system, or the responsibility will be given back to teachers to test children when they feel they are ready, remains an open question.
