The Melton Sponsors Financial Education Programme for Long Field Academy

The Melton Building Society is sponsoring a financial education programme for Year 9 and 10 students at Long Field Academy, Melton Mowbray. The programme is being delivered by finance and education specialist, WizeUp.

“Teaching our students about managing their personal finances is an important part of our curriculum and we are delighted the Melton Building Society is helping us to achieve this,” said Craig Palmer, Deputy Head Teacher, Long Field Academy.

At the introduction of the programme to the first group of students Martin Reason, Chief Executive of the Melton said: “Education gives you choices in life and it’s important to make the most of your time at school. Similarly saving money not only gives you the ability to pay for the essentials in life (such as a deposit on a mortgage!), but also to choose to have fun when you want to!
