Financial Education Primary Planning Framework

There are many money-related topics that children could learn about, and the Financial Education Primary Planning Framework has been created to help break down learning about money into chunks that are easy to handle.

Some schools may use the framework to help them plan financial education in their curriculum. You may find it useful to help plan your sessions, identify areas which the children you support may need to focus on most, and measure progress.

There are four key themes for all age groups to learn about:

1. How to manage money.

2. Becoming a critical consumer.

3. Managing risks and emotions associated with money.

4. Understanding the important role money plays in our lives.

The framework covers the most relevant topics and is split up into age groups. However, the age groups are just a guide and you will recognise the right level to teach the children you work with. You can pick elements out you think are best suited to them and it may even help to spark some new ideas for financial education projects or games within your setting.
