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.
