Important update from TheSchoolRun

For the past 13 years, TheSchoolRun has been run by a small team of mums working from home, dedicated to providing quality educational resources to primary school parents. Unfortunately, rising supplier costs and falling revenue have made it impossible for us to continue operating, and we’ve had to make the difficult decision to close. The good news: We’ve arranged for another educational provider to take over many of our resources. These will be hosted on a new portal, where the content will be updated and expanded to support your child’s learning.

What this means for subscribers:

Your subscription is still active, and for now, you can keep using the website as normal — just log in with your usual details to access all our articles and resources*.
In a few months, all resources will move to the new portal. You’ll continue to have access there until your subscription ends. We’ll send you full details nearer the time.
As a thank you for your support, we’ll also be sending you 16 primary school eBooks (worth £108.84) to download and keep.

A few changes to be aware of:

The Learning Journey weekly email has ended, but your child’s plan will still be updated on your dashboard each Monday. Just log in to see the recommended worksheets.
The 11+ weekly emails have now ended. We sent you all the remaining emails in the series at the end of March — please check your inbox (and spam folder) if you haven’t seen them. You can also follow the full programme here: 11+ Learning Journey.

If you have any questions, please contact us at [email protected]. Thank you for being part of our journey it’s been a privilege to support your family’s learning.

*If you need to reset your password, it will still work as usual. Please check your spam folder if the reset email doesn’t appear in your inbox.

Win the entire Playmobil Zoo Collection!

Get to know animals from far-away lands first-hand: The new Adventure Zoo from PLAYMOBIL lets children bring these animals home for playful adventures.

With its realistic designs, modular concept and many popular animals, this play theme guarantees endless hours of fun for all animal lovers.

Entering the Large City Zoo through the gate, visitors go to pay at the kiosk with a souvenir shop, and then arrive at the spacious animal enclosures.

The viewing platform spans over a raised wooden path – this is the perfect vantage point for watching the animals in each of their habitats. The giraffe is heading out for the first time with its newborn calf, and the young emperor penguins are speeding down the slide.

There is also plenty of excitement over in the Outdoor Lion Enclosure, as feeding time is about to begin!

The extension sets make the enclosures and viewing platform even bigger, gradually growing the extensive zoo landscape.

Whether children prefer the meerkats, lemurs or even the hippos, they are sure to find their own favourites amongst the many animal species available.

Additional animal sets, such as the red pandas and alpacas, are completing the zoological around-the-world tour.

At the Petting Zoo, visitors can touch and feed popular breeds of domesticated animals, and they can even accompany the Zoo Vet, complete with Medical Cart, looking after his patients.

Playmobil are offering one lucky TheSchoolRun reader the chance to win the entire Playmobil Zoo range worth a whopping £310!
