During My Money Week over 40 schools took part in Stock Market Challenge events up and down the country. The week, which ran from June 28th to July 4th, provided a nationwide focus on financial capability for young people in primary and secondary schools throughout England. My Money Week is co-ordinated by pfeg (Personal Finance Education Group).
There were seven venues hosting Stock Market Challenge events, with schools from London and the South East, Central and Eastern England and the North East.
PFEG Consultant Helena Mullins said, “I worked with ten schools in events in London and the South East and was delighted with the response of the students taking part in Stock Market Challenge. Both girls and boys were enthusiastically engaged as they learnt about the risk-return trade-offs of investing in the stock market and also benefitted from the opportunities that the Stock Market Challenge resource provides for developing and applying Maths skills.”

“A motivational and learning tool for the business and enterprise teacher that will knock the students' socks off! There is simply nothing better on the market."

We used it with three different Business Management classes. All of them really enjoyed it and took it very seriously, whilst having fun. It is invaluable.

"Stock Market Challenge introduces our pupils to the excitement of numbers, and the importance of the decimal point! Also, to a world of which they have little knowledge, but which is having a major effect on their lives."
Sarah Hodnett, Lead Academic Tutor, Maths, John Madejski Academy, Reading
"Stock Market Challenge has really helped our pupils with their calculation skills and their ability to manipulate ICT and use it in a cross-curricular way. They are using it to fine-tune their skills and develop an understanding of their place in society."
