00:04 Good morning, we're at St Michael's Primary School here in London

00:07 where the teachers have been giving the kids a financial education

00:10 with the help of the Numbers Game by Santander.

00:13 It's the one year anniversary of the Financial Education Recognition Scheme

00:17 which was set up by Santander to recognise schools like this

00:20 that are teaching the kids all about managing their money.

00:23 I brought some brekkie for the teachers.

00:25 And I brought some gold stars for the kids.

00:28 You get one for winning the brekkie.

00:30 Let's go and surprise them.

00:32 Morning! Hi everybody!

00:34 We thought we would come in and bring you brekkie

00:38 to celebrate the wonderful work you've been doing with the children.

00:42 Although there are slightly more of them than we anticipated

00:46 and we've only brought three muffins.

00:48 Well we've come from Santander because we know you've been doing fantastic work

00:51 teaching the kids about how to look after their money.

00:53 Why did you decide to bring that into the school?

00:56 It's about equipping them to make good choices

00:58 that will in the end promote positive wellbeing.

01:00 Could we go and meet some of the kids? Yeah?

01:02 Great, let's do that. We'd better let you go to school.

01:05 [school bell rings]

01:06 Oh, hi everybody!

01:08 Morning everybody!

01:10 We're here because we know you've been learning

01:12 all about how to look after your money.

01:15 Have you been learning about ways to invest your money?

01:18 I'd invest in a big company like Tesla

01:22 because they make a lot of money in cars

01:24 and they get quite a lot of profit from it.

01:26 Invest in Tesla.

01:27 Jack, you're now working for me as my financial advisor.

01:33 Would anyone like a gold star?

01:34 To get a gold star you have to ask us a question.

01:38 Yes you!

01:39 We like to buy fun things like slime and collectibles and Pokemon cards.

01:44 What do you like to buy?

01:45 I love spending money on trainers.

01:48 I love chocolate.

01:49 I would marry him I could.

01:51 I mostly give my money to charity.

01:54 No he does not! Don't listen to him!

01:57 Do you think it would be alright if we came to your assembly?

01:59 Yes!

02:00 This is our secret until we get there.

02:02 Our secret.

02:03 Shhh!

02:04 Can we put him in the car?

02:05 No we can't do that.

02:06 No we've got to do the assembly.

02:07 Wedding house?

02:08 No, no, no, we've got to do the assembly.

02:09 It's a sandpit!

02:10 No we've got an assembly to do.

02:11 The dogs! God you're so boring!

02:13 Scoot out!

02:15 We're going to give a big warm welcome to Mike from Santander.

02:19 Good morning everybody, it's lovely to see you all.

02:24 For primary schools, financial education isn't mandatory, but we know it's such an important

02:29 life skill that it's great to see this school and hundreds of others right across the country

02:34 committing to making it a core part of what they do year in year out.

02:38 Santander, partnering with Twinkle, launched a numbers game resources two years ago and

02:43 since then an amazing 100,000 educators across 8,500 schools have used those materials already

02:51 to benefit 2.5 million students.

02:53 We're here today to say a huge well done and to keep up the good work.

03:01 Surprise school visit done, last call star given out to me!

03:04 To join over 200 schools and educators that are already part of the scheme, you can join

03:09 up and pledge to provide at least six hours of financial education to every student every

03:15 year using the link below.
