A Warminster boy is helping to shape how children across England learn about money after being chosen for a youth advisory board on financial education.
Luca, aged seven, who attends Minster CofE Primary School, has joined a panel of young people giving their views on how money skills should be taught in schools. He is one of three primary school-aged members on GoHenry’s Kids Financial Education Advisory Board.
The board gives children and young people a voice on plans to introduce financial education to all primary schools in England from September 2028, something GoHenry, a banking app for children, has campaigned for over the past five years.
Together, the six members of the board, aged between seven and 17, will shape recommendations and share their views on how money lessons should be delivered in the classroom. Insights from the board will be shared with policymakers throughout 2026 and beyond.
“It’s great that we’re now going to learn about money at primary school,” said Luca. “I hope we are taught about saving. I’m looking forward to being a member of GoHenry’s Kids Financial Education Advisory Board to make sure children have a say about what we are going to learn at school.”
Louise Hill, founder of GoHenry, said, “We’re thrilled to be welcoming Luca as one of our new members of the GoHenry Kids Financial Education Advisory Board.
“While the Government’s commitment is a massive win, implementation must match intention. We cannot afford a ‘tick-box’ approach. By involving children as young as six in our board, we are doing our best to make sure that the new curriculum reflects the reality of how the next generation interacts with money today. We owe it to them to get this right!”
