Student weekly schedule (example)
Start your financial capability journey by using one of our student weekly planners.
To help you teach financial capability, we suggest downloading and adapting the student weekly learning schedule below.
It includes a template that allows you to build a Sorted in Schools weekly programme using the resources and two cross curricular example schedules for a two to three week teaching block.
