Over 90% of LifeSavers students are highly engaged with the programme activities and resources.
To ensure primary schools across the UK have the access to the best resources for all their teaching and students’ needs, Just Finance Foundation has been developing innovative new resources.

As the cost-of-living crisis pushes more families into financial distress, it is more important than ever that children receive positive lessons about money from a young age. In the rush to address this, many resources have been created that show signs of not being quality checked by teachers.
You want to know the resources you are using in your classroom are accurate, relevant to young people, and free from bias that could impact students’ long-term relationships with money.
Our education team have created a checklist for teachers, schools and parents to help you choose the best resources for your school and children.

LifeSavers was developed to address a critical gap in the delivery of financial education in England. Evidence shows that children are already developing habits around money by the age of 7 yet, although the APPG on Financial Education for Young People calls for statutory financial education in primary schools, there is currently no statutory duty for primary schools to teach financial education. In addition, recent reports from the Money Advice Service reveal that less than a third of parents talk to their children about money.
Our editable, adaptable resources allow schools to easily embed financial education into teacher planning and curriculum mapping. LifeSavers uses a values-based approach to financial education. This means that students discover what it means to be wise, generous, just and thankful with our money, recognising that attitudes are as important as knowledge and skills in shaping financial behaviour.
