This has been created by me for group use. The idea would be to divide the class into groups. Each group would be given a topic enlarged onto an A3 piece of paper. They would also have a blank piece of paper. They need to interpret the information and turn it into a presentation for the rest of the class that lasts about 3 minutes. Whilst a group presents, the others produce a small mind map of the important information. At the end they should create a 'Brand Spanking New Box&' and fill it with a few things that they have learnt.
Test aimed at y12 students who are getting to grips with aspects of business finance. The test covers several key terms, number work in the guise of cash flow forecasts, quantitative sales forecasting and break even analysis. The final question is an assessment of the value of sales forecasting for a given business.
Written by a senior and highly experienced teacher of A Level Business, this booklet contains a brief overview/recap of the theory surrounding financial ratio analysis (specifically Edexcel’s Year 13 requirement of Gearing and ROCE) and includes four mini case studies each with a series of three questions focusing upon the calculations and theory associated with this topic area. Detailed answers are included that provide students with issues to consider when answering these types of questions in an examination.
A new range of materials aimed at supporting teachers of the AQA A Level in Business. This is a substantial presentation of over 100 slides designed to cover the topic of analysing financial performance. It starts with a look at how to construct and analyse both budgets and cash flow forecasts. It then analyses budgets including a consideration of variance analysis (favourable and adverse). It then looks at the timings of cash inflows and outflows and examines the role of the cash flow cycle, including an understanding of payables and receivables. It proceeds to then look at how to construct and interpret break-even charts, including an analysis of break-even output, margin of safety, contribution per unit and total contribution. The effects of a change in price, output and cost are then examined and how to calculate this and illustrate this on a break-even chart. The next topic is that of profitability and includes an examination of gross profit, profit from operations and profit for the year. The presentation concludes with an examination of the use of data for financial decision making and planning. The pack contains the Quick Fire Five knowledge questions, a short objective test, several practise questions and an essay question all complete with suggested answers. This pack also includes a FREE copy of the student revision notes for this section of the course.

NEW 10 HOURS- A selection of brand new 2026/27 EC Publishing PSHE lessons created for the new 2026 KS3 DfE / PSHE Association guidance for managing money and finances throughout life successfully. Perfect for young people navigating our challenging modern world. There are 10 hours of total content as three of the lessons are doubles, each coming with detailed easy to follow PowerPoint, worksheets, clips, activities and info packs. Made by a wonderful team of consultants and teachers who are, above all, humans, not AI (we write and check every word and fact and are happy to stake our company reputation on what we produce). This is a saver pack - bought separately the lessons would total £19.
CONTENTS:
Budgeting Money Introduction - NEW 2026 - One hour lesson introducing the concept of budgeting with all the templates needed for students to create a working budget plan. Students will first discover what budgeting, sources of income and outgoings are, before investigating why it’s important to budget and studying a sample budgeting plan from an average teenager. Finally they will create their own. Includes lesson plan. This has been created to best suit KS3, but could easily be used with KS4 and is entirely editable. It covers the DfE and PSHE Association guidance for 2026 and will last you one hour.
Budgeting personal finances through life PSHE - NEW 2026 DfE GUIDANCE COMPLIANT (see lesson plan included for details). New lesson with a focus on how we can be responsible with our personal finances and avoid bad debt. Students will recap on key monetary terms (interest, short-term loans, debt, long-term loans, credit score) before investigating different case studies of young people in financial trouble. To arm them for this task, they will first read through a source pack and complete a clip task. Students will then review the advice they gave and then complete the plenary summarizing what they learned today. The lesson includes a detailed, editable PowerPoint, accompanying worksheets, information pack, clip tasks, analysis tasks, creative tasks, signposting and much more. Suitable for KS3 or KS4. Includes detailed lesson plan.
Saving Money - New PSHE lesson, best suited to lower KS3. Students will explore wants and needs, saving and investing, as well as different types of savings accounts and their benefits, before beginning to investigate stocks and bonds at a basic level. They will also cover a basic explanation of interest and how banks work. Includes lesson plan. There are a variety of tasks, from clips, bingo, analysis, role-play, case studies and more. Everything is editable and ready to go and I’ve tried to make a dry-ish subject as fun as possible. This lesson is taken from the new 2026 EC Publishing Complete Primary Package, which can be found with a quick Google on the EC Publishing website.
Introduction to Entrepreneurship - New lesson for 2026 (lesson plan details new guidelines covered) which focuses on what exactly it means to start a business and become an entrepreneur. Students will explore case studies of famous entrepreneurs from diverse backgrounds, analyse a clip of Elon Musk giving advice to wanna-be entrepreneurs and complete interactive tasks following the exploits of Tom, a student who starts a business up whilst at school. The resources are editable, fun, creative and ready to go. Includes lesson plan.
Managing a household budget - DOUBLE LESSON - New for 2026 - a two hour lesson on planning and managing a household budget. Students will examine the household budgets of four UK households - a young couple on average income, a divorcee nurse, a wealthy businessman and a young family with a disabled child. Their task is to stick to the budgets of each household, whilst navigating financial challenges such as pregnancy, a new car, a brother in debt, carer’s allowance, lodgers and much more! This is a fun lesson and culminates in a video bingo game about how different levels of income are managed by UK citizens. Best for KS4/5 but nothing unsuitable for KS3.
Financial Exploitation - 2 HOURS for new 2026 RSHE guidance (see lesson plan included for details) - In this double lesson students will explore online scams, with particular regard to financial exploitation and money laundering. They will investigate how easy it is to fall for a scam, the common techniques used by scammers and how to spot one. Students will then focus on a growing criminal industry which young people often fall victim to; money laundering. They will discover how money laundering works, what happens to the victims, the penalties, and how criminals operate to trick people and avoid detection. The lesson includes a detailed, editable PowerPoint, accompanying worksheets, information pack, clip tasks, analysis tasks, creative tasks and much more. Suitable for KS3 or KS4. Includes detailed lesson plan.
Resilience, Wisdom and Being Tough PSHE (student loans, pensions, rent and mortgages) - Brand new, 2 hour lesson which may be one of the most important lessons we’ve ever produced. The lesson informs students about the realistic levels of challenge they will face as they strive for a successful adulthood in modern, competitive Britain. The topics are all off-line subjects for this lesson, and those covered are; mortgages and the housing market, university and alternatives, pensions and their importance, attitude and entitlement and credit scores. The lesson aims to equip students with essential knowledge they need and the inspiration to be tough, resilient, wise and future-proof.
Best suited to KS5 (or maybe Year 11) Students will complete a wide range of tasks, literacy-based, creative presentation, case studies, analysis and clip tasks. Everything is editable and easy to just pick up and use. All information need is included.
