Last week Year 6 had a visit from staff at Barclays Bank. They arrived in their 'Big Blue Barclays Bank Bus' and spoke to the children about money, budgeting and how banking can be accessible to all.  

Children thought about ensuring they do not go 'over-budget' by paying for things they did not realise they were, like subscriptions and service charges. Children considered how to prioritise spending and learnt about how to make good financial decisions. Then they got to have a 'tour' of the bus and saw what mobile banking might look like through the eyes of a customer. We feel very lucky to have had the visit and would especially like to thank Almond Hill parent Mrs Coates for organising this visit for us.
