Pocket Money Adventures
Staffordshire primary schools

Free for your class.
Apply for a funded place.

For Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 classes. Local Staffordshire businesses fund these places, so your school pays nothing. Applying takes about five minutes.

A class pack of books

Six shared copies of Ava Saves Up for one class to read together and come back to. Ava wants something now and has to decide whether to wait.

The classroom programme

Seven weeks of Tap, Tap, Pause™ for one class. We lead the opening Spark Session; the class teacher runs six short Sidekick activities, about 15 minutes a week.

Or both

Tick both if your class would use the books and the programme together.
