Our Personal Finance curriculum is designed to equip pupils with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to manage money effectively—both now and in the future.
Working with Young Enterprise, we provide practical, engaging, and relevant financial education that prepares pupils for real-life decision-making. Our tailored programme not only focuses on money management but also helps learners develop valuable workplace skills such as teamwork, communication, and problem solving. Pupils are also encouraged to explore entrepreneurship by planning, launching, and evaluating their own business ventures.
Curriculum Intent and Outcomes
Our intent is to ensure that every pupil develops the financial awareness, independence, and resilience needed to make informed choices in adult life. By the end of the programme, pupils will be confident in managing money, capable of evaluating financial risks, and prepared to apply these skills in further education, the workplace, and everyday life.
Personal Finance is closely linked to subjects across the curriculum, including Mathematics, Citizenship, PSHE, and Careers. Key areas of study include:
- Managing money wisely
- Becoming a critical and informed consumer
- Recognising risks and managing the emotions connected with money
- Understanding the role of money in everyday life
Enrichment Opportunities
Working with Young Enterprise, pupils take part in exciting projects that bring learning to life. Highlights include interactive sessions with the Bank of England and participation in Young Enterprise challenges, where pupils collaborate, innovate, and showcase their entrepreneurial ideas. These opportunities help pupils to see how financial skills are applied in real business contexts.
Learning is further enriched through visits to local businesses, guest speakers from a range of industries, and opportunities to put theory into practice. Lessons are interactive, encouraging discussion, collaboration, and reflection, while always connecting learning to real-life situations and current affairs.
Links Beyond School
Personal Finance provides a vital bridge between education and the wider world. Pupils are equipped with the tools to budget at university, manage wages, savings, and credit in employment, and make informed financial decisions throughout their lives. The skills gained also support career readiness, ensuring that pupils leave the Rosewood School well-prepared for future success
