Within the new secondary curriculum PSHE now has two new programmes of study aimed at developing personal wellbeing, and economic wellbeing and financial capability.

From 2008 teachers will need to incorporate financial capability into PSHE in such contexts as managing risk, personal financial decisions and career choices.

As a result, students should be able to manage their money, understand financial risk and reward, explain financial terms and products and identify the role of finance in their lives and aspirations.

Personal budgeting, wages, taxes, money management, credit and debt, savings, investment and trade are all areas you can draw on to make sense of money in the classroom - and pfeg (Personal Finance Education Group) can help.

Our Learning Money Matters initiative offers free consultancy, support and teaching resources to secondary schools in England to help you integrate finance into the work you are already doing. You can access as much or as little help as you need and we will tailor it to meet your needs.

Expert pfeg consultants with a strong background in education will meet with you to discuss your needs and devise a programme of free support ranging from:

- Telephone or email support - answering your queries and concerns and helping with personal finance teaching issues.

- Introductory in-school support - up to half a day working with senior staff and teachers to help them assess their needs and plan and teach personal finance.

- Intensive in-school support - working with your senior team and class teachers for up to three days in school - planning work and activities with you or team teaching alongside you. Support includes help with developing individual units of work, lesson and cross-curriculum planning and running personal finance based events and activities.
