Financial awareness has arguably never been of greater importance. Our new partnership project with Fulham Cross Girls’ School looks to address this through offering twilight lessons in Financial Literacy to a mixed cohort of 26 Year 9 students.

The Level 2 qualification developed by the London Institute of Banking and Finance (LIBF), will allow students the opportunity to develop their understanding of finance, within a structured programme running once every two weeks for two years, led by Mr Andrew Ross, Putney’s Head of Economics and Business. 

Throughout the course, students will learn about: 

• Achieving personal financial goals, methods of borrowing and repaying money, personal and small business banking, financial advice, creating and managing budgets 

• Ethics, sustainability, business models, financial careers, principles of UK taxation and marketing 

• Financial regulation, protection, and the impact of debt 

• Financial services providers and how they function linked to careers in banking, accounting, investment, insurance, and financial technology (fintech)  

• Real-life application of numeracy and mathematical skills used within financial services
