The next Fiver Challenge will take place between 7th June and 2nd July. The programme provides a highly interactive, fun way of introducing financial literacy, resilience and teamwork to primary school pupils. Pupils are pledged £5 and have one month to set up a mini student business and create a product or service.
The Fiver Challenge is designed to run across four weeks and offers an excellent introduction to enterprise and the world of work. It provides a great opportunity for pupils to develop key skills including teamwork, managing money and communication skills.
The Challenge is an excellent way to introduce young children to ideas about the work they might do in future, to help raise aspirations, and develop positive attitudes to work from an early age.
In 2020 over 38,000 pupils participated in the Fiver Challenge across the UK.

“The Fiver Challenge has been a fantastic initiative – the children have worked collaboratively and organised themselves superbly. They all broke even or made lots of profit! A fantastic initiative which we will take part in again next year.” – Teacher
