Year 6 pupils at a village primary school have gained valuable money management skills, thanks to an interactive workshop arranged by Platform Home Ownership.

The two-hour session at Stilton C of E Primary Academy equipped the children, aged 10 and 11, with practical financial skills related to budgeting, earning, saving, and setting goals.

The workshop was held during Talk Money Week, an annual event aimed at encouraging open conversations about personal finances.

The financial education experts, WizeUp, delivered the session, engaging the pupils throughout and prompting them to think about how money affects their everyday lives.

Helen Smallman, deputy head at Stilton C of E Primary Academy, said: “The pupils were actively engaged in the workshop throughout, and were very keen to learn about the different ways that money impacts their lives.

“We’re very grateful to Michael from WizeUp for delivering this informative session and to Platform for making it all happen.”

The initiative is part of Platform's commitment to leaving a lasting legacy at its new home developments.

It was the second donation provided to the school, following the supply of tennis racquets and balls earlier this year.

Sabina Cox, marketing manager at Platform, said: “We’re really pleased to have enriched the children at Stilton Primary Academy with this workshop, especially during Talk Money Week.
