pupils’ future economic well-being in primary schools

Thank you for your hospitality and co-operation, and that of your staff and students, during my visit on 03 June 2008 to look at work in developing pupils’ future economic well-being. The visit provided valuable information which will contribute to our national evaluation and reporting. Published reports are likely to list the names of the contributing institutions, but individual institutions will not be identified in the main text without their consent.

Features of good practice observed include:
