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.

Calculating perimeters
A Year 5 and 6 printable worksheet created by an experienced teacher to help your child practise calculating perimeters.
To find the perimeter of a shape you must add up the lengths of each of the sides. Can your child calculate the perimeters of these common shapes?

Calculating volume
Volume is the amount of 3D space that an object occupies. Volume can be measured in cubes. Calculate the number of cubes in each shape to work out the volume.
Year 5 number pyramids: measures
Add the adjacent numbers together and write their sum in the circle above them.
Prime numbers
A prime number is a number greater than 1 that cannot be divided evenly (with no remainder) by any number other than itself or 1. Look at this 100 number square. Can you circle all the prime numbers on it?
Estimating angles
Some of these angles are acute, some are obtuse. Decide which they are, then write an estimate for how many degrees you think each one measures. Measure them with a protractor to see if you were right
Properties of 3D shapes
These four shapes fit in the column on the left. Can you draw them in the correct places and name them? If you’d like to count the faces yourself, use a net of each of the shapes to make a 3D shape you can hold.
Dividing three-digit numbers
To work out these division questions you could use the chunking method you learnt in Y5 (see Year 5 worksheets) or this quicker method. See is you can use this method to answer these tricky division questions.
Calculating the perimeter and area of irregular shapes
A teacher-created KS2 worksheet on calculating the perimeter and area of irregular shapes to support your child's maths learning at home.
Once you know how to find the area of a rectangle, you can use this knowledge to find the area of irregular, compound shapes as long as they are made up of rectangles or squares. Can you calculate the area and perimeter of the shapes below?

Answering questions on a line graph
A line graph is used to show a trend over a number of days or hours. It is plotted as a series of points, joined with straight lines. Look at this line graph showi the temperature every day of last week at noon and see if you can answer the questions.
Square numbers
When you multiply a number by itself, the result is a square number. Cut out these cards and see if you can pick out the square numbers.
Ordering a set of fractions
Look how Katy puts these fraction cards into order, from smallest to largest. Can you follow Katy's method and then use it to order another set of fractions?
Drawing angles
Protractors at the ready! Measure these angles then draw the correct answers to these word problems.
Angles around a point
A KS2 maths worksheet created by an experienced teacher to help your primary-school child learn about angles.
A full turn is 360 degrees, so the angles around a point always add up to 360 degrees. Can you look at these diagrams and work out what the missing angles are, WITHOUT using a protractor?

Translating a shape
Translating a shape means moving it up or down or sideways without it changing shape or size. This shape needs to be translated 4 squares right and 3 squares up. Can you redraw it in its new location?
Reflecting a shape
Something is symmetrical when both sides of it are the same when cut in half. The line down the middle of a symmetrical shape is called the line of symmetry or mirror line. Can you draw this shape reflected in the mirror line?
Reading scales and solving problems
A KS2 numeracy worksheet created by an educator to help your child practise reading scales and solving problems.
Calculating area
Area is the name we use for the amount of space a surface takes up. You could measure the area of a small space like a table or a big space like the school field. We measure area in square units. Can you calculate the area of these shapes?
Sums investigation
How many different addition number sentences containing two-digit numbers can you make with these cards?
Reading the 24-hour clock
A KS2 maths worksheet created by an experienced teacher to help your child learn how to tell the time using the 24-hour clock.
Reading and plotting coordinates
Plot these four co-ordinates and then join them up to make a shape. What kind of shape is it?
Producing a line graph
See if you can buy or borrow a thermometer for this activity. Put the thermometer outside your home somewhere safe. Take a reading of the thermometer at the following times. Write the temperature in each blank box in degrees Celsius or centigrade. Now plot a line graph with your findings. How are temperature and time of day linked?
