School Savings Club

We are delighted to inform you that the school, in partnership with Bridgend Lifesavers Credit Union, operate a School Savings Club.

The School Savings Club is run by the school with the help of the children in year 4.  Children can save as much or as little as they want.  Every new child in the school will receive an amount of £2 to open the account.  Your child will be able to pay money into their account every week on a particular day at the school and they will be issued with their own School Savings Book to keep track of their savings.  The money can be withdrawn twice a year, once before Christmas and once before the end of the summer term

Our school savings club will offer an excellent opportunity for pupils to save each week at school.  We hope to combine financial education, family engagement and promote partnership working within the community to help teach children from an early age the value of saving while learning valuable money management and life skills.

What is a credit union?

Bridgend Lifesavers credit union is a not for profit financial co-operative – which means they are owned and controlled by their members.  They already run several hugely successful school savings clubs in Bridgend.
