Compare Primary Financial Literacy/Education Schemes and Resources
Financial education - also known as financial literacy - is included in many PSHE and RSE schemes. However the resources and lesson sequences below are stand-alone programmes which can be taught separately. Many are also provided free, and some also have resources for Year 6 Young Enterprise activities.
