City Pay it Forward, in partnership with City A.M. and leading institutions across the City of London, is supporting primary schools across Greater London to deliver high quality financial education to Year 6 students.
We believe early education shapes lifelong attitudes to money. Research shows children begin forming financial habits by age seven.
£1,000 Grant Available 1
Every eligible state-funded primary school in Greater London that completes the programme will receive an unrestricted £1,000 grant.
The programme includes a three lesson, teacher led curriculum, with all materials and guidance provided. Full details, including FAQs and Terms and Conditions, are available in the Educational Portal. We encourage teachers to consult their Senior Leadership Team before participating.
¹ Subject to availability.
Schools that received a grant last year are not eligible for a further grant this academic year, but are very welcome to continue using the curriculum.
