Results are in!
Five years of campaigning, three roundtables, one #makemoneycount petition—and we've done it! The Government's Curriculum Review has recommended that financial education is made compulsory in primary schools in England for the first time. It's fantastic news. But the hard work starts now—making sure it's implemented effectively.
We set the course for change
In 2024, we launched our Financial Education Manifesto, with 10 key recommendations on how the UK Government can make financial education work in all schools.
We showed up for parents
Our founder, Louise Hill, is at the forefront of the fight for financial education. In January 2024, she spoke at the Education Select Committee hearing in the House of Commons—GoHenry was one of only two businesses to do so.
We listened to kids
To find out more about what kids think of the Curriculum Review, we held a roundtable discussion at the House of Commons with the Curriculum & Assessment Review team. We then launched our Kids' Eye View of the National Curriculum report with ThisIsMoney.
We gave kids a voice
We teamed up with the Financial Times to host a Kids' Eye View of Financial Education roundtable—hearing directly from children and parents about what money lessons they thought should be taught in schools.
We rallied a community
You may have seen our petition to #makemoneycount by calling for financial education to be compulsory from primary school—but did you know our founder, Louise Hill, personally delivered it to No. 10?
We empowered young people
Meet Eashan, Maddie and Theo. They're the founding members of our Kids Financial Education Advisory Board, a new initiative to champion kids' voices at every step of our campaign. They'll be telling us—and MPs—exactly how financial education should look in the classroom.
