We are passionate about giving children the right skills to develop healthy money habits for life.

After nearly 20 years of inspiring children to become money-savvy, we're excited to launch a revamped version of our long-standing flagship financial education scheme, Junior Newbury Building Society (JNBS).

What is JNBS?

We have been running JNBS in primary schools throughout our branch towns since its launch in 2008. The original format brought money skills to life through running mini branches in schools, with pupils taking on the role of 'cashiers', with the support of the Society team. 

What's new?

With increasing demands on teachers and an evolving financial landscape, we felt it was the right time to revamp JNBS for our new learners.

The new-look JNBS swaps in-school branches for ready-made, curriculum-aligned lessons designed for Key Stage 1 and 2 pupils. These engaging workshops introduce children to essential money matters through a mix of interactive discussions, activities, games, and video content. 

Topics include:

• Keeping money safe and spotting scams.

• Understanding spending influences.

• Needs vs. wants.

• Payment methods.

• Saving, borrowing and interest.

• Budgeting basics.
