Real-Life Skills for Life-Ready Students

PSHE plays a vital role in preparing students for life beyond school  from financial literacy and mental health to decision-making and citizenship.

But even in schools with strong provision, students say they want more.

📊 Aspirations data from 50+ UK schools shows:

• 67% of students want to learn more about managing finances
  
  
• Only 42% rated their understanding of finances within the top 2 confidence levels
  
  
• Meaning the majority still feel unprepared to manage real-world money decisions
  
  

Students are curious, motivated, and asking for more. These resources are designed to give schools the tools to respond - practically and confidently.
