Pocket money for 9 year old

Hi
My daughter is coming up to nine - up until now we haven't had a structured pocket money system as such more so just bought her treats as rewards etc
To teach her the value of money I have set her up a Go Henry account to our her birthday money etc in and want to use this for pocket money as well which she can spend as she wishes (within reason!)
I was thinking around £5 a week but not sure what the going rate is!!
Can anyone help by sharing what they do with kids of a similar sort of age?
Thanks in advance!

My 9yo DS has GoHenry and gets £25 a month put in on pay day.

We have just started giving my 9yo son £5 per week. But he has to save £2 a week for something that he really wants. Usually a Lego kit or games for the Playstation. If we don't do this we end up spending £5 a week on in-game purchases or sweets!
