Personal Finance Award

Students are required to complete a stated number of challenges for each module and to audit any Key Skills they have used. The material ‘stands alone’ or integrate seamlessly with courses at GCSE and beyond. This resource is very much activity based with any progression reflected in an increase in independent learning and initiative.

Assessor's comments

This is one of the most versatile resources available for personal finance education that I have seen. The requirement of the completion of open ended challenges that address the breadth of Financial Understanding, Financial Competence and Financial Responsibility is both exciting and rewarding for students and teachers. This breadth and open ended quality also provides a depth of understanding that is limitless in its scope.
