The Quality Mark is an independent assessment of financial education resources against national standards. For a programme like ours, it means our lessons have been examined by educators with no stake in whether we succeed — which is exactly why it matters.
Why we wanted it
Financial education is unregulated. Anyone can publish a worksheet, call themselves a money tutor, and start charging families. There is no requirement to show that what you teach is accurate, age-appropriate or effective.
We didn’t want parents to take our word for it. Accreditation gives families and schools something they can check for themselves, rather than a claim we’ve made about ourselves.
Our thanks to the team at Young Enterprise. The process made the programme better — their feedback shaped how concepts are sequenced and how each idea is introduced, and the version children learn from today is stronger for it.
What it covers
Our listing in Young Enterprise’s resource directory covers financial capability for children up to 11 and from 11 to 16, across five themes:
- Budgeting
- Needs and wants
- Making financial choices
- Borrowing and understanding interest
- Ways to pay
You can read Young Enterprise’s own description of the programme on their website, alongside the other resources they have assessed.
