Reception classes have been preparing for our fete today by chatting about money. We know we can save money for a special or important purchase 💷@RedSTARTeducate @csc_stem
Thank you for joining us today @stpaulsprm 😀 It was an absolute pleasure having you with us!
Year 6 are currently enjoying a money workshop from @RedSTARTeducate at @landg_group today. They are playing games to earn money, make investments and earn interest. Through this, they are learning all about borrowing as well as risk and reward.
It was an absolute pleasure to host @TreorchyPrimary at @ESgloballaw in #Cardiff today. There was so much energy & engagement in the room!

Thank you to Ronnie @RedSTARTeducate for our financial literacy workshop. Year 5 were so engaged finding out about budgets, becoming critical consumers and income tax. #G11 #financialliteracy
We are delighted to be able to share not only our fantastic Reception activities, but to also provide each child with a copy of Save Your Acorns, to remind them about saving at home.

Our CEO, Sarah Marks, spoke to Caroline Bloor at Hearst Magazines about the way financial education is delivered in schools and her thoughts on what needs to change.
We were also interested in the perspectives of others. See below:

Great staff launch at @ALMAPRIMARY Yesterday! Year 1 and Reception teachers were really excited about being part of the programme. Everyone was thrilled about the banking app, with lots of comments on how great the design looks!! 😁⭐
Lovely day up at @PIC yesterday, great to meet with the team! We spent the day finalising our approach for upcoming 23/24 academic year.
Everyone at RedSTART is looking forward to delivering workshops and school based activities as schools begin their new academic year.
More than 3,700 primary school children aged between 6 – 8 from 45 schools in underprivileged rural and urban areas across England and Scotland were surveyed on a range of age-appropriate money-related questions including money management, financial aspirations and goals.
· Across the board they gave low responses in terms of thinking about value for money (25%), or first establishing if they could wait or needed the item now (30%), with 14% saying they’d just buy it.
📊 Here is a graph showing the proportion of children receiving free school meals in our Change the Game programme member primary schools, vs the national average.
🌟 Everyone at @RedSTARTEducate, our schools, funders and volunteers, are committed to proving the impact of consistently delivered, high quality financial education.
