 Money

It’s never too early to learn about money. At the moment you probably get your pocket money and perhaps some money from odd jobs.

What do you do with it? Do you keep it safe; budget carefully; and spend it wisely? If so, well done!

You’ve learned the first steps of good financial management. Later, when you are thinking of leaving school or staying on after Year 11 or even going to university money issues are going to become more and more important.

Your Connexions Personal Adviser can help you find out about sources of funding to help you study after you are 16, e.g. The Education Maintenance Allowance (EMA) or benefits you may be entitled after you leave school.
