PUPILS are learning all about finance and how make their money grow as part of an initiative with a bank.

Virgin Money called into Northwood Primary School to explain how the £5 Grow programme works.

A school spokeswoman said: "This is an exciting opportunity which helps them to build their enterprise, mathematics, team building and financial skills whilst giving them a taste of what it's like to be an entrepreneur.

"Virgin Money have loaned each child £5 to set up a micro-business in groups. After learning key business skills from Louise and Rebecca at Virgin Money they will use the money to create products or services to sell and make a profit – just in time for Christmas. Any profit that is made gets to be kept by the school."

The youngsters will present a Dragon's Den style pitch to choose a winner.
