In this session, EYFS and primary school leaders will think about the shape of financial education in their curriculum and how aligning it with their school's values could mean that they are tackling it more than they think. In preparation for the 2028 curriculum changes where financial education becomes statutory, this is the opportunity to explore this topic in more ways than maths leading to a richer understanding for children and an increase in confidence from staff. The Just Finance Foundation supports primary schools across the UK to deliver meaningful financial education to children from an early age. Learn about their free resource, LifeSavers; a values-based Financial Education programme for Primary Schools.

About Just Finance Foundation:
We are on a mission to make sure every child is empowered with financial education for life. At Just Finance Foundation, we are building a future where every child enjoys lifelong financial wellbeing. We know that to make this a reality, every child must receive meaningful financial education from an early age. That’s why our LifeSavers programme is so unique – it not only teaches practical money skills but also instils core values that shape financial decision-making for life. Traditional financial education often focuses solely on skills like counting coins or budgeting. Our values-based approach goes further. We believe that financial literacy is about aligning money management with personal values and aspirations. By integrating lessons on generosity, justice, wisdom, and thankfulness, we help children understand that money choices impact not only their own lives but also their families, communities, and the environment.
