Today we were visited by Linda Bardelli from the Royal Bank of Scotland. Linda is the lady that is helpin us to set up our school bank. The school bank will be run by P7 and will be open to the children in P4 and up. The bank operates as a real branch of RBS and is open in the school from 9.15-10.15 every Thursday starting on the 4th of November. The school bank is a fantastic way for the children to learn the value of money and see the benefit of saving. We are all really enthusiastic about the project and the staff are also looking forward to saving in school. We have given each child from P4-7 a permission slip to have signed and brought back to school to get a savings account set up for each pupil. It would be great if we could have these back as soon as possible. Linda will be back in class later in the month to train P7 as bank tellers, marketing staff and manager and to provide some financial education lessons to P4-7.
What a great way to get saving!
