Lifesavers
We are delighted that our school is part of the LifeSavers programme.
LifeSavers supports primary schools in setting up savings clubs, and helping children and their families learn about money.
LifeSavers aims to equip our pupils with the knowledge, skills, attitudes and experiences to manage money well, now and in the future. Throughout the academic year we explore Five Big Questions About Money. We also explore four core values around money: thankfulness, wisdom, justice and generosity.
We invite pupils to join our Super Savers school savings club. The savings club is provided in partnership with the Central Liverpool Credit Union and provide real life, hands-on money experiences for your children to help them develop into financially confident young people. Our Savings Club is run by our own Y6 pupil cashiers following a rigorous application process.

Lifesavers Chatter
Life savers big question 3!
What can we use our money for?
We discussed how often we consider our life saver values when we make a financial decision and shared ideas of how to be generous, thankful and wise with money.
Many of our children said that they believe they should save for the things they want but only after spending on the things they need. Some said that they would like to give more to charity too.
Year 3 Lifesavers
Year 3 have been working hard all week to earn ‘money’ for our Lifesavers lesson. During the lesson they had to decide what to spend their hard earned money on, things they need or things they want. We then discussed if they could save any of their money.
