Secondary and sixth form programme

Our financial education mission

Since 2011, we have been delivered engaging and inclusive financial education and employability workshops, lessons and assemblies for KS3-5 learners. We believe financial capability is a life skill — like literacy and numeracy. We want to contribute to improving young people's outcomes in life, by increasing their confidence managing their money, making informed decisions and planning bright futures.


Headteachers tell us financial capability is now as critical as literacy. We partner with schools to build students' financial mobility — at no cost to them. 


What are the benefits of a WizeUp financial education workshop? 

  • Students: Gain practical skills, unlocking future opportunities (getting a first job, creating a budget, understanding how to save, considering next steps such as university or  apprenticeships) 
  • Curriculum: PSHE-aligned, age-appropriate sessions, delivered by experienced and highly-qualified presenters
  • No cost: Free to partner schools (or heavily subsidised)  


Secondary and post-16 programmes

Choose from over 20 specialist workshops for KS3-5 students, covering the building blocks of financial education for young people. From managing your money by budgeting, to tips on saving and investing, or the basics of tax, national insurance and pensions, we'll help your students master the fundamentals of finance. Working with careers teams, PSHE leads and school leadership, we'll help to enhance the delivery of your careers, citizenship and PSHE curricular. 


We also have a dedicated programme for sixth forms and FE colleges, helping your students transition to university or adult life. 

Working in partnership with schools

We know that every school and every cohort is different. So we work closely with our partner schools to design a programme that works for their learners' needs. 


Get in touch to start building your students' confidence and enjoyment in money management. Read teacher and student reviews to find out more about our impact and why our programmes are so effective. 


We now also offer a dedicated programme for SEND learners and Pupil Referral Units, as well as KS2 primary workshops, linked to the Citizenship curriculum.  

Fully funded and subsidised programmes

We know how tight school budgets are for curriculum enhancements. That's why we've partnered with like-minded financial services organisations who are just as passionate as we are about the importance of financial education for young people. Thanks to the support of our partners — banks, building societies and financial advisors — who generously sponsor our programmes, we are committed to reaching as many students as we can! 


Get in touch to find out whether your school might be eligible to join our fully funded or heavily subsidised programmes, or find out about our pricing for half-day or full day workshops. 

"The feedback from pupils and staff was very positive. The speaker was excellent and if the questions they have asked subsequently are anything to go by, their awareness of a range of financial issues has been raised considerably."
