THE NUMBERS / IN CONTEXT
Make the
evidence count.
The ambition is to make a difference. That is why reach, feedback, quality assessment and lasting outcomes are kept separate.
The summer
2026 snapshot.
The homepage figures come from the Pocket Money Adventures School Edition v1.1, Cohort and Instrument Ledger, dated 8 September 2026. It is the publisher's reconciled historical delivery record.
| Setting | Class groups | Children, approximately |
|---|---|---|
| Rushton CE First School | 1 | 19 |
| Jackfield Infant School | 2 | 73 |
| Star Academy | 2 | 43 |
| The Willows Primary School | 3 | 87 |
| Total: four schools | 8 | 222 |
What this shows: approximately 222 children in eight Year 1 and Year 2 groups across four schools received a Spark Session. These are approximate cohort counts, not a current lifetime total.
What it does not show: proven long-term financial behaviour change, or completion of the current standardised seven-week programme. The historical activities used earlier materials.
Three schools, approximately 179 children in six classes, had a further recorded engagement or evidence-return step. Two schools, approximately 92 children in three classes, returned outcome-related data using materially different instruments. Those results cannot be pooled or treated as a single comparable before-and-after outcome.
The record states that no school had completed the current standardised seven-week programme at that evidence point. Reception delivery was not part of this historical dataset.

Financial Education Quality Mark
The Pocket Money Adventures School Edition holds Financial Education Quality Mark issue 0195, September 2026, awarded by Young Enterprise and supported by the Money and Pensions Service.
The award concerns the assessed educational resource. It is not an award to Nathan personally, approval of every PMA product or independent proof of lasting effects.

The current school page states £0 cost to schools for sponsor-funded places, subject to availability. This is the offer, not a count of delivered or funded future sessions.
Experience.
Still developing.
“Nearly two decades” describes Nathan's financial-services background, consistent with the published Pocket Money Adventures founder biography. This describes experience, not an additional qualification.
Nathan confirmed in October 2026 that he is studying towards the CII Level 6 Advanced Diploma in Financial Planning, aiming to complete his remaining exams in 2027, then work towards Fellowship of the Personal Finance Society.
The site does not present the Advanced Diploma, Chartered status or Fellowship as achieved. Qualification requirements and eligibility are determined by the relevant professional body.
