As part of our personal development curriculum, it is important that we provide opportunities for our young people to access economic literacy.  Research shows that delivery of financial education means that children and young people are more likely to save money, have a bank account and be confident about money management.  Financial education enhances financial wellbeing and prepares young people to understand and manage their incomes as adults.

We were lucky enough to have representatives from Nationwide Building Society (Finchfield branch) deliver finance workshops to our pupils and provide a real-world context.  The worked with each year group to raise awareness of financial and economic education.

Thank you to Nationwide for providing this fantastic support.
