Finance is in the news!  Research shows that 70% of parents say that they are discussing finance  more frequently at home now than 12 months ago and that children are keen to save money.  It is even more important in these difficult economic times that children understand finance and how  the “credit crunch” will affect them.  We will be starting to teach students about this next term, using some excellent resources from the Government-backed: Personal Finance Education Group. For more information, please click here to visit the PFEG website or contact Mrs B Schofield (email address as above).
