What is MoneyTime?
MoneyTime is a ready-to-teach online financial literacy programme for students ages 10 to 15 (Key Stages 3 & 4). It teaches them how to manage money & what they’ll need to know to make smart financial decisions as they get older.
It gives you everything you need to teach money skills in the classroom, without extra planning, training or workload. Students work through structured, self-directed lessons, while you guide discussions with simple, ready-made activities.
MoneyTime combines literacy, maths & social education, so it fits naturally into subjects like Maths, PSHE, Tutor Time, PSD, Citizenship, Enterprise/ Business Studies, Economics and Health & Wellbeing.

Why UK teachers choose MoneyTime
Short on time? Not confident teaching finance? MoneyTime makes it easy.
No finance expertise required
You don’t need to be a finance expert or spend hours preparing lessons.
Students progress through self-directed modules on their own, so you can guide learning without needing deep subject knowledge. Then, we provide ready-to-use classroom activities to spark discussion & reinforce key concepts.
Save time with automated assessments
No more marking or tracking progress manually.
Every module includes automatically marked quizzes & tests with clear reports. Instantly view detailed feedback on student performance, demonstrate outcomes & share progress with senior leadership or your board.
Keep students engaged through play
Struggling to keep students interested in finance topics?
No need to create engaging activities yourself, MoneyTime does it for you. It combines lessons with a fun money management simulation game where students spend, save, invest & donate virtual money they earn from correct answers in-program. These choices reflect real-life financial situations & help students see the impact of their choices instantly. They learn from trial & error without risk or fear of failure.
Extend learning beyond the classroom
Reinforce learning in real-life contexts.
Alongside the core & extension modules, students can complete 13 optional modules with a parent or guardian. These home-based lessons reinforce their learning into their own life’s context.
Parents love that their child is learning how to be smart with money & are often surprised by how much their child understands the personal finance topics learned in the programme.

MoneyTime has been a fantastic addition to our tutor time programme: the girls are desperate for me to unlock the next modules so that they can get working on it in their free time. I cannot recommend it highly enough!

Implementing MoneyTime in class
Flexible to use
The 11 core modules & 20 extension modules fit equally well into Maths, PSHE, Citizenship & Economics learning areas. They can be used as a supplementary resource or as an elective.
Quick & easy to implement
Getting started takes just 2 minutes. There is no training or lesson prep required.
It’s just as quick for your students. They can start as soon as they have created their account & watched the short intro video.
Easy to fit in
Each financial literacy lesson only takes 30 minutes, meaning plenty of flexibility. They can be scheduled across learning areas, split between year groups, used in tutor time or as extension activities, set for homework & are an easy filler for relief teachers. If you can’t finish them as a block, use them as end of year fun!
Practical lesson guides
MoneyTime provides lesson guides that include intended outcomes, new vocabulary, teaching tips, activities & discussions for you to do with your students after each lesson. These are highly recommended for feedback, questions & reinforcement.
Fitting MoneyTime into your timetable
Completing just a handful of MoneyTime modules will be immense benefit to your students. If you’d like them to complete all 30 modules, here are some ways that other teachers fit them in:
Split modules by year group e.g. Year 7: Modules 1–11, Year 8: Modules 12–22, Year 9: Modules 23–31
Set MoneyTime for a group of students whilst you take another learning group
Use during tutor time or as an after-school activity
Assign modules for homework
