Meet the world of money
Metro Bank Money Zone introduces Key Stage 2 and 3 (Years 4 to 8) pupils to financial skills, helping them understand how money, saving and banking work. Our sessions are ideal for incorporating into your school’s PSHE curriculum, and are linked to the wider government curriculum guidelines.
Our programme
We teach the Money Zone Key Stage 2 and 3 programmes over 4 sessions:
- our trained bank colleague will come to your classroom to teach the first 3 sessions
- the fourth session takes place at a Metro Bank store. Pupils meet real Metro Bank cashiers, dare to step inside a vault, experience our Magic Money Machine and more!
- after they’ve finished the programme, each pupil gets a certificate and a goodie bag.
Exciting activities
Fun lesson plans, teachers notes, learner workbooks and activities for all abilities are part of the programme. These include learning about different types of banking accounts and basic tips on managing money. You can do all the activities during the sessions or keep some back for later extension work.
