ICAEW have out together four resource packs which relate to the four areas of the pfeg Planning Frameworks which aim to support the planning, teaching, and progression of financial education by setting out the key areas of financial knowledge, skills and attitudes, across four core themes:

1. How to manage money – including saving, budgeting and managing debt.
2. Becoming a critical consumer – including making choices about spending and looking for value for money.
3. Managing risk and emotions – including looking after money, protecting against financial risk and fraud.
4. Understanding the important role money plays in our lives – including understanding income, deductions and financial citizenship.

The frameworks are designed to look at financial education flexibly across the range of subjects and learning opportunities available within a school’s curriculum.

Each resource pack contains one lesson for each of the following Key Stages:

• Key Stage 2 (Years 3 - 6, ages 7 - 11)
• Key Stage 3 (Years 7 - 9 ages 11 - 14)
• Key Stage 4 (Years 10 - 11 ages 14 - 16). 

Pack B ‘Becoming a critical consumer‘ contains a lesson which is suitable for Key Stage 1 (Years 1 - 2 ages 5 - 7).
