Our work in education
pfeg has a range of projects ongoing at any one time, details of which can be found in this section. pfeg supports teachers working with children and young people aged 4-19 through:
- Consultancy and support from experts by phone, email or face to face - provided in English primary and secondary schools through our varied range of projects. Our consultants pass a strict certification process for quality support that schools can trust.
- Guidance on fitting finance into the curriculum across all subjects - from mathematics to enterprise. Our links with policy makers and the Department for Education help us give schools the best possible guidance while our good practice guides provide examples of what works in the classroom.
- High quality resources and teaching aids. Our Quality Mark ensures that everything we recommend meets the highest educational standards - and many of our resources are free of charge.
- Training in personal finance teaching as part of teachers' continuing professional development. We work in partnership with local authorities and other providers to build teachers' skills and confidence.
- Added value in the classroom by matching volunteers with a background and expertise in finance with the specific needs of schools. Our partnerships with the financial sector enable us to bring expert support to learning programmes.
- A creative approach based on the needs of individual schools. Our close collaboration with schools ensures the best fit for both pupils and teachers - without limiting the ways that children learn about finance.
