The collaboration will deliver engaging, age-appropriate lessons to students from Year 3 to Year 9, equipping them with the knowledge and confidence to make informed financial decisions.
“The partnership will enable us to deliver more than 60 interactive sessions, reaching over 1,800 students across the participating schools,” says Sally McLachlan, Midlands Manager at Money Ready.
“Everyone needs to be able to manage their money. Yet almost two-thirds of young adults don’t recall receiving any financial education at all, and 53 per cent worry that they will never be financially secure.* We’re here to rectify that by providing high-quality financial education to as many people as possible.”
Throughout the 2025–2026 academic year, Money Ready’s experienced trainers will deliver workshops across a range of Three Spires Trust schools, including:
-
St Peter’s Collegiate Academy
-
The King’s CE Academy
-
Hanley St Luke’s CofE Academy
-
St. Giles’ & St. George’s C of E Academy
-
St Mary’s CE Primary School
-
St Thomas’ CE Primary School
-
St Michael’s CE Primary School
Each session has been carefully designed to align with national curriculum objectives and is tailored to be age-appropriate, interactive, and relevant to real-world financial challenges. Topics include budgeting, saving, spending, the value of money, and making wise financial choices.
“We’re thrilled to work closely with Three Spires Trust – an organisation that shares our vision of preparing students not just for exams, but for life,” says Sally. “Financial education is a vital life skill, and the earlier we start building that foundation, the better prepared our young people will be.”
“At Three Spires Trust, we believe education must go beyond the classroom walls,” says Aimee Williams, Director of Education at Three Spires Trust. “In a world where financial insecurity is a daily reality for many, equipping our students with the skills to manage money isn’t just a nice-to-have – it’s a moral imperative. This partnership with Money Ready gives our young people the tools to take control of their futures, to make confident choices, and to step into adulthood with dignity, independence, and hope.”
