What Children Gain with Cash Academy
Simple steps to build money confidence in your school
Real Financial Knowledge
Children learn how money works in the real world — earning, saving, spending, tax, bills, borrowing, investing, and budgeting.
Stronger Maths Skills
They apply addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, time and data in practical, meaningful scenarios — not worksheets.
Decision-Making & Problem-Solving
From choosing the best value deal to handling an unexpected bill, children learn to think critically and make confident choices.
Independence & Responsibility
Each child manages their own “adult life” through their character, understanding consequences, priorities and planning ahead.

It’s not just money, it’s life chances, well being and hope.
I’m Rebecca, and I’ve been a primary school teacher for over 10 years.
I’ve always been passionate about giving children the best possible start in life — and for me, that includes teaching them real-world skills that will stick with them far beyond their school days.
I never felt prepared to manage money as a young adult. Like so many others, I left school knowing how to find the area of a triangle, but clueless about mortgages, banking, investing, or tax. I had to learn the hard way, through trial and error. That experience gave me the drive to make sure other children don’t have to struggle the same way.
That’s why I started Cash Academy. I’m determined to give children the knowledge and support they need to make sensible, informed choices about money — even from primary age. I believe financial education shouldn’t wait until you’re 18 and facing student loans, credit cards, and buy-now-pay-later offers. It should start early.
Through our immersive workshops, children step into real-life money scenarios — earning, saving, spending, budgeting — in a safe, hands-on, and fun environment that builds confidence and sparks curiosity. I want every child to leave knowing that money isn’t scary, it’s something they can understand and manage.
