Going Back to School - Financial Education Sessions in the Community

As part of our ongoing collaboration with local schools in and around Aberdeenshire and Developing the Young Workforce (DYW), our team were kindly welcomed into Kemnay Academy to speak with S4, S5 and S6 pupils about financial education.

As part of our ongoing collaboration with local schools in and around Aberdeenshire and Developing the Young Workforce (DYW), our team were kindly welcomed into Kemnay Academy to speak with S4, S5 and S6 pupils about financial education.

The interactive sessions involved discussing payslips, budgeting, bank accounts and behavioural finance (to name a few!)

The engagement with the pupils was really positive, reinforcing our passion for educating the younger generations about managing their money so they can begin to develop healthier, educated financial decisions from an early age.

Quote from Kemnay Academy:

"We began working with Acumen in May 2022 with the aim of enhancing the finance unit of our National 5 Applications of Maths course for our S4, 5 and 6 pupils. We cannot thank Acumen enough for the impact they made with our pupils. It was fantastic for our pupils to have the opportunity work together with experts from a variety of roles and levels within the financial planning industry who are all so passionate about their job. This brought real authenticity to the learning and helped our pupils see the benefit of the knowledge and skills that they are developing in Maths and that these are skills for learning, life and work. We look forward to continuing our work with Acumen to positively impact our pupils' experiences here at Kemnay Academy."
