Milo’s Money
At Saint Gregory's, our EYFS and KS1 children have been learning about financial education through the Milo’s Money programme. Produced by the Just Finance Foundation, the programme acknowledges how children start to learn money habits as early as age 7. When children learn how to manage money well from a young age, the benefits last a lifetime.

Milo’s Money includes a picture book, an online game and classroom resources. Within the story, Milo receives some money for the first time and seeks advice from other dinosaurs he knows and trusts within his community. Each one introduces him to a different key theme in financial education for him to consider.Over the school year, the EYFS and KS1 children complete a number of Milo’s Money sessions and complete the programme (7 sessions) by the end of Year 2.
Here are some quotes from our Year 2 children who have completed the Milo’s Money programme and said they felt more confident following the sessions:
