ECONOMIC WELLBEING

We teach economic wellbeing within our maths curriculum to ensure children develop the knowledge, skills and confidence to manage real-life financial situations. By exploring topics such as budgeting, saving, spending, and decision-making, children learn to apply mathematical reasoning in practical, meaningful contexts.

​

This approach enables children at West Leigh to develop financial literacy, make informed choices and understand the consequences of their decisions. Integrating economic wellbeing into maths also strengthens problem-solving, reasoning and analytical skills, ensuring pupils can approach challenges confidently and independently.

​

Through this, our curriculum promotes preparation for the next stage of education and life, helping children to become responsible, capable and financially aware citizens.
