“When we surveyed our sixth form to ask about what external speakers and workshops they would like ‘financial literacy’ came up again and again as something our older students wanted to talk about. With this in mind, we were thrilled to host the Really Helpful Club and David Holton to speak to our U6 to introduce them to the financial decisions they will be making in the coming months and years.
Informative and detailed, David’s presentation guided the students through the complexities of student loans, how to budget effectively and the magic of compound interest! His engaging talk was one of our most attended Teams events of the year and students have enjoyed using his ‘leave behind’ materials to continue these discussions in form time.
The feedback from the session has been excellent with one parent getting in touch to say, ‘…thank you very much to whoever delivered the Financial Awareness talk to the sixth form – it must have been excellent. I had the most animated and interesting discussion with X for well over an hour afterwards. Definitely an eye opener for him…’ We are already thinking about how we can embed this topic into our sixth form PSHE curriculum and we look forward to working with David and the Really Helpful Club in the future.”
