A School-Wide Implementation in Year 5 & 6

Case Study 1

Challenge

Like many schools, this prep school had no structured financial literacy lessons or economics provision in their curriculum. Although pupils performed strongly in traditional subjects, leaders at the school wanted to add greater value to the journey through Y4-6. They wanted a solution that was engaging, easy to implement, and that their curious pupils would enjoy each week.

Solution

An early version of Tykeoons was introduced as a weekly lesson for Year 3 to 6 pupils. Teachers used the interactive slide decks, group discussions, and hands-on activities to deliver lessons on topics like scarcity, opportunity cost, and how money works.

Results

• Improved Financial Awareness – By the end of the first term, over 90% of pupils could confidently explain why we can’t have everything we want and how choices impact our finances.

• Higher Pupil Engagement – Teachers reported a significant increase in participation in discussions related to money and decision-making.

• Long-Term Impact – The school received strong feedback from parents, who were delighted that their children were coming home and teaching them things that they, as adults, had never learned at school!

Integrating Tykeoons into an After-School Club

Case Study 2

Challenge

The school wanted to offer enrichment opportunities beyond the standard curriculum,

focusing on practical life skills. They needed a structured program that would engage

pupils in discussions about money, business, and economics without feeling like

traditional lessons.

Solution

The school introduced Tykeoons as an after-school club, using the Making Money! module, where students worked together to develop a business idea, create a product, and sell it at a school market day.

Results

• Hands-On Learning – Students got to experience market research, budgeting, and advertising in a real-world setting.

• Business Thinking – Many students continued their entrepreneurial projects beyond the school event, creating products to sell online or to family members.



• Increased Financial Confidence – Over 85% of students reported feeling more confident about handling money and making business decisions.

Tykeoons at Home – A Parent’s Perspective

Case Study 3

Challenge

A homeschooling parent wanted to introduce financial education but struggled to find

structured, age-appropriate materials. They needed a program that was self-explanatory, engaging, and aligned with key learning objectives.

Solution

Using Tykeoons, the parent incorporated one lesson per week into their homeschooling

schedule. The children worked through interactive slides and activities, applying what they learned in real-life scenarios, such as budgeting their allowance and comparing the costs of different purchases.

Results

• Everyday Financial Skills – The children started setting savings goals and discussing how they could spend money wisely.

• Critical Thinking Development – They began asking “why” behind prices, choices, and financial decisions in everyday life.

• Independent Learning – The easy-to-follow resources allowed the children to work through the materials with minimal adult guidance.
