In 2025-6, our WizeUp with Jack Petchey programme - in partnership with The Jack Petchey Foundation - has been extended to 125 mainstream schools across London and Essex. In addition, 25 SEND and PRUs have their own specially constructed programme aimed at financial education and independent living.
The mainstream programme includes 4 sessions of between 60 and 75 minutes to year 12 and/or year 13. Schools get to choose from Budgeting and Earning Extra Money, Student Finance, Taxation and Pensions, Scamming, Gambling and Payday Loans, and Cryptocurrencies. For schools without a sixth form, years 10 and 11 can also take part in the programme.
For further details or to book, please email our Head of Programme, Sophia Mousoulides
The SEND/PRU programme is individually tailored to each group and will be 8 hours in duration delivered over 4 visits. The sessions are devised after a consultation visit by our SEND/PRU lead to each school.
The workshops are heavily subsidised by The Jack Petchey Foundation, so each school will be asked to pay just £150 towards the total cost. If you are interested in learning more about either of our programmes, please get in touch.
