WizeUp with Jack Petchey programme

---

Each session will be between 60 and 75 minutes, depending on your timetable flexibility. The more time we have, the more interactive elements we can include. 

Sessions will vary in terms of interactivity, but every session includes discussions and decision-making activities. Some will involve worksheets, and videos as part of the sessions. Engagement is one of our core values so we ensure every session allows for the students to interact and build their knowledge.

The cost of all four sessions is £150.00 in total. This is a subsidised price for Jack Petchey Foundation partner schools and colleges. It is free to become a partner and easy to sign up.  

The minimum is 25 and the maximum is as many students as you can fit into one space! Typically, we present to an entire year group. 

For sixth forms and colleges, the sessions are open to Year 12 and 13. If your school doesn’t have a sixth form, the sessions are for Year 10 and 11. 

Choose four topics: 

 Year 12-13:

• Budgeting for life after school
• How tax works and how to boost your pension
• How to maximise your savings and invest responsibly
• Credit card management and building a positive credit rating
• Understanding cryptocurrency and its risks
• How to apply and manage student finance and information on degree apprenticeships
• Things to know about renting and mortgages 
• Awareness of scamming, gambling and payday loans.

Year 10-11 (only for schools without a sixth form):

• Budgeting and earning extra money
• How tax works
• How to maximise your savings and invest responsibly
• Credit card management
• Understanding cryptocurrency and its risks
• Awareness of scamming, gambling and payday loans.

For sixth forms and colleges, we recommend having three sessions for Year 12 and one for Year 13. For schools without sixth forms, we suggest three sessions for Year 10 and one for Year 11. However, we are happy to have a different ratio. You can opt to have all four sessions in one day (such as in a drop-down day) or spread out the sessions throughout the year. All sessions are subject to availability, but we try to be as accommodating as possible. If you choose to not have the entire year group in each session but choose to have four small groups with the same topic, these will still count as four sessions. 

Assembly-style usually works best.  Some of the sessions have worksheets but there isn’t a great deal of writing so students can lean on a folder or book. 

Booking is very straightforward – just share your best dates/times, your year groups and chosen topics for each session. We'll be in touch with our availability. 

We will try to secure your preferred speaker, but we cannot guarantee this due to prior bookings.
