No child should leave primary school without understanding how money works. By bringing together the power and expertise of the Square Mile with the experience of the education sector, we are preparing a generation ready for financial success.
The Challenge
Why This Matters Now
Children today are growing up in a world of constant choice, heavy advertising and growing consumer pressure. They are also entering a cashless society where money moves invisibly and is rarely seen in physical form.
At the same time scams and financial products are becoming more sophisticated, making it harder to separate opportunity from risk. Without strong financial literacy early on, many children will move into secondary school and adult life ill equipped to manage spending, saving and protection. The urgency is clear. If we do not act now the gap between those who understand money and those who do not will only widen.
The Year 6 Dividend campaign ensures every child in London has access to high-quality financial education before they move to secondary school, creating knowledge, confidence and opportunity for life.
Real World Learning
The Year Six Dividend campaign helps children see how money shapes life in the wider world, giving them the skills to understand and manage it with confidence.
Early Foundations
By reaching children in primary school, the campaign builds strong money habits early and helps shape the attitudes that last a lifetime.
For Teachers, by Teachers
Created in partnership with leading educators, the campaign provides ready made lessons and guidance so teachers can deliver financial education with confidence.
Financial education in action
Discover how the Year Six Dividend campaign is bringing financial education to life across London’s primary schools. Real classrooms, real teachers, and a powerful idea uniting the City with the next generation.
