We are delighted to announce our first-ever live-streamed National Money Assembly, taking place on Monday 15 June at 9am, featuring Martin Lewis CBE, founder of MoneySavingExpert. 

Broadcast live to secondary schools across the UK, the Assembly will bring students together for a shared start to My Money Week – the UK’s national week for financial education. The event offers a unique opportunity for young people to hear directly from Martin Lewis and gain practical insights to help them make informed financial decisions now and in the future.

Designed for students aged 14+ but available to all secondary schools, the Assembly will be live-streamed into schools nationwide, with the option to watch again via on-demand playback.

Martin Lewis, Founder of MoneySavingExpert said:“Companies spend billions each year on advertising, marketing and teaching staff to sell. Yet many of our children are sent out into the world without buyers training, unprepared and ill-equipped to handle making financial decisions for themselves. And that’s without even taking into account the ever growing threat of scammers. 

Every child in every school needs a proper financial education - not as a tick-box exercise, but taught in a way that is practical, relevant and engaging, and that can tool them up with what they need to know when they first become independent adults. This isn’t just about listening to what children want to know, there is also much they need to know that they will not yet be aware of. We have to help them through both. That is why I am delighted to deliver the first-ever National Money Assembly.”

My Money Week: Spend, Save or Grow

As part of My Money Week, we will be delivering a live online money challenge featuring a high-energy, interactive activity designed to help Primary 4 pupils understand how to grow money rather than simply spend it. Pupils are given a starting amount (£10) and guided through a series of fast-paced tasks where they generate ideas, explore simple ways to make a profit, and develop their thinking to increase earnings. Through structured discussion and interactive chat responses, the session aims to build confidence, encourage creativity, and develop a foundational understanding of key financial concepts while maintaining active engagement throughout.

My Money Week: Trip to the City

As part of My Money Week, we will be delivering a live online money challenge designed for Primary 5 pupils to develop practical money skills in a real-life context. Working as a class, children are given the task of planning a school trip by calculating costs then deciding on a suitable price to charge to make a profit or break even. 

Through quick discussions, decision-making, and interactive responses, pupils learn how budgeting, pricing, and profit work together, while building confidence in applying maths and financial thinking in an engaging and meaningful way.
