WIN £24,000 of prizes for schools with our Personal Finance Teacher of the Year Awards 2020

Has a teacher inspired your kids to be financially savvy? Then nominate them for one of our prestigious awards

At Moneywise, we believe it is never too soon for young people to learn about their finances. By mastering money basics early on in life, they can grow up to be the most financially savvy generation yet.

We have teamed up with our parent company, interactive investor, to offer schools with the best personal finance teachers a share of £24,000 to spend on equipment. Teachers at both primary and secondary level in UK schools are eligible for the competition.

We will make separate awards to teachers at primary and secondary school level, splitting the £24,000 between the winners and runners-up in several categories.

Are you a parent, pupil, school governor or teacher? Do you know someone who is teaching personal finance at school? Would you like to nominate someone for this award? We want to know how they make the teaching of personal finance fun, interactive and relevant to their pupils.

To put forward your nominations, please email editor@moneywise.co.uk with the name of the teacher(s) and the name and address of the school(s), plus why you are nominating them.

Teachers can also enter the awards directly. For an entry form, please email editor@moneywise.co.uk. 

Moneywise will then contact teachers who have entered the competition, inviting them to submit their entry, including at least one personal finance lesson.
