Cash Academy

If you’ve been thinking about booking one of our workshops, this one’s for you 🙌

Any school that books before the 30th of September gets a full year of access to my brand-new financial education curriculum FOR FREE!

That’s over £300 worth of KS2 content to use across the whole school.

Here’s what that means in practice:

→ Teachers get a head start before the 2028 curriculum changes

→ The classroom learning continues long after we’ve left

→ Children embed key maths skills through real life, role play scenarios

→ No additional planning or workload for your teachers. We’ve done it for them!

And as a bonus, if you book your session for the months of September or December, your parents get something too: a free 30 minute parental engagement session where we show them exactly how to talk about money at home, send them away with an activity pack and walk them through what their child experienced in Money Town.

Drop me a message or click the link below to get booked in.

Here’s what schools have said about previous sessions:

“Cash Academy recently visited our school to teach children about money and the visit left a genuinely positive impact on the children. We would highly recommend Cash Academy to any school.”

“Every school needs Cash Academy, this was a fantastic experience for our children at Angram Bank Primary”

“We loved it. It would be great to book another session for next year too.”

🌱 Happy National Financial Awareness Day!

You can’t manage what you don’t understand and that’s true at 7 just as much as it’s true at 47.

Financial confidence isn’t about knowing everything. It’s about knowing where you stand, and feeling okay asking questions when you don’t.

Today’s a good day to check in with your own money and maybe start that conversation with your children too.

It’s never too early. 💛

Financial literacy gaps between children from different backgrounds appear by age 11.

Not 16. Not GCSE year. Not when we become adults. Eleven.

By the time secondary school financial education legally kicks in, children from lower-income households are already behind because money conversations happen naturally around some kitchen tables and never come up at others.

That’s not a home problem to leave for parents to fix alone. That’s exactly what school exists to level out.

This is the entire reason Cash Academy exists.

To make sure every child gets the same shot at understanding money, regardless of what’s happening at home.

And because we know it’s not just about the school day, we can also run an after-school parental engagement session alongside our workshops, helping parents feel confident weaving money conversations into everyday life, with a take-home pack of mini activities to do together while out and about.

We know that a lesson lands twice as hard when it’s reinforced at home too.

If equity is part of your school’s values on paper, this is one of the most direct ways to put it into practice. For the whole family, not just the classroom.

Get in touch and save this if equity is a word you want to be more than a policy line.

As we start preparing for the next academic year, don’t forget to make financial literacy part of your school’s agenda.

Right now, an an estimated 5.4 million children are heading toward adulthood without the money skills they’ll need.

That’s the gap Money Town exists to close.

I have seen it at least three times over the past week alone.

Influencers posting reels and reels of beautiful holidays in luxury resorts, sunsets in the background and big smiley faces.

“My one piece of advice, stop worrying about money, book the holiday anyway. Make the memories.”

I even saw one saying “Stop worrying about money ffs!”

It’s so scary that not only are people seeing images of influencers emotionally enticing people into these often expensive holidays but also, they are now being told to not worry, spend it, make memories and think about it after.

Even for me when I see these, I think wow, imagine if we just booked this and went.

I’ve got a young family, I want to make those memories too.

I’m all for people making memories and going away on holiday to a lovely resort, but content like this should come with a financial health warning the same way gambling ads do.

We all work hard for our money and are entitled to spend it on the things that matter the most to us.

I just think it’s so important we don’t get emotionally sucked into big financial decisions because of someone we’ve seen on social media.

Please make sure you’re comfortable with those bigger spends, whether that’s saving for them or having a plan to pay them off.

And remember, many people you see online don’t pay the price you or I would for those experiences.

12+ years in the KS2 classroom taught me that financial literacy isn’t just numbers on a page, it is role play, oracy, and challenging the misconceptions children don’t even know they have.

From debating where to save vs. invest, to watching Year 5 get genuinely excited about stocks and shares, if you give children the tools and the context, they run with it.

In November the government confirmed something I’ve spent the last year building for.

Financial education will be compulsory in every primary school in England.

From September 2028.

Read that again.

2028.

Not now. Not next year. In two years’ time even though children desperately need it now.

I didn’t want to wait.

Because there’s a Year 5 class somewhere being taught financial literacy through a few random addition and subtraction of money lessons and maybe an end of y6 enterprise project / day.

I know, because I was that teacher and I never touched upon wages, tax, investing, interest, mortgages and renting.

Until one day I did.

I started talking about these things where it linked in my maths and pshe lessons, we went outside and played shops, budgeted in the role as a family, set up our own bank accounts.

The engagement was through the roof!

So I built this as a full curriculum for KS2.

Two years before the government says I have to.

Today was a GREAT day 🙌

We took Cash Academy to Skills Street at Gulliver’s Valley today for our first ever home education workshop and the energy from the kids was just brilliant.

Skills Street is all about careers, helping children explore the world of work and start thinking about their future. It links perfectly with what we do at Cash Academy: as children begin to think about their future careers, understanding money and how to manage it becomes just as essential as knowing what job they want to do.

Massive thanks to the Skills Street team for such a warm welcome. If you haven’t come across them yet, they run brilliant hands-on educational visits and summer family days that make learning genuinely fun and real for kids — well worth checking out for your next school trip or family day.

This is what “learning that sticks” looks like.
