This year we have been working towards becoming a MoneySense Accredited School as part of out commitment to teaching our pupils how to use money safely and responsibly. Over the year, Years 1 –6 have benefitted from working with volunteers from NatWest to run workshops:

Year 1 and 2 learned about how we use our money.

Year 3 and 4 worked with a budget to plan a class party.

Year 5 and 6 class have also worked with a budget to plan a class party. They also had the opportunity to become detectives to solve a crime of fraud as part of their workshop to understand the dangers of identity theft and fraud.

The children received a certificate and goody bag for taking part. We are very grateful to the volunteers from NatWest.

The MoneySense website www.mymoneysense.com has a Parents section where you can download activities to do at home. Your children can also explore a Virtual Bank to get used to the services in a real bank branch.
