Great new financial education resource from the Nationwide Building Society

Nationwide Education is part of Nationwide's commitment to the community. It is primarily a web-based programme designed for use online with computers and interactive whiteboards in schools. It's designed to be stimulating and engaging whilst providing information and hints and tips. Children will enjoy using the interactive games and can use the downloadable fact sheets and work sheets to further their understanding about personal finance and how important it is in their daily lives.
Its Financial Capability programmes for the primary age range include:
The resources can be accessed from the bottom of the page this link takes you to.
Each of Nationwide Education's Financial Capability programmes links directly to guidance on the teaching of personal finance - provided by the then Department for Children, Schools and Families (now the Department for Education DfE); the Financial Services Authority (FSA) and Basic Skills Agency (BSA) - for all ages, as well as the curricula for England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
Nationwide Building Society employees also visit schools and colleges to deliver lessons and talks on the three core themes of the Nationwide Education web site: Financial Capability, Sustainable Living and Safety.
