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.

Can you use bar models to answer these questions?
Solving algebra problems
In algebra we use letters to represent numbers that we don’t know the value of. A string of numbers and letters joined together by mathematical operations such as + and - is called an algebraic expression. Try the following algebra problems.

Area and perimeter summary
When you first learn to find the area of a shape you do it by counting squares. You then learn that you can use formulae to quickly and accurately find the areas of some shapes. Can you remember the formulae and use them reliably? Now find the perimeter and area of all the shapes below (not drawn to scale). Remember to use the correct units of measurement (cm or cm2).
Area and perimeter calculations

Using related calculations
If you know that 28 x 16 = 448 you can quickly find the answers to lots of similar calculations. Draw a line from each calculation to the correct answer.
Using BODMAS to solve calculations
Do you know what BODMAS stands for? BODMAS tells us the order we need to complete operations in. If there is a bracket work out the result of the operation inside it first then do division then multiplication and finally do any addition and subtraction. Put your knowledge of BODMAS into practice by having a go at these calculations.
