About this bundle

  • New bundle, no reviews yet. It is offered with the refund terms below.
  • An original, fictional case. Every business, person, figure and quote is invented; nothing is real data.
  • Timings are estimates. The lessons are not yet classroom-trialled.
  • Written tasks come with indicative guidance and an example answer, not a mark scheme.
  • The Word files were laid out and checked in LibreOffice, not Microsoft Word. Small layout differences are possible when you open them in Word.
  • A classroom resource for teaching and practice. It does not replace a textbook or a scheme of work.
  • Eight separate packs in one ZIP, each with its own student workbook and teacher guide. They share a house style but each case stands alone; the packs follow the order of the specification, but you can teach them in any order.
  • Every business, figure and quote is invented; nothing is real data.
  • Written for Edexcel A level Economics A (9EC0), Theme 3, Business behaviour and the labour market, against the Pearson specification (Issue 2). Please check it against the specification you are teaching.
  • Classroom teaching and practice only. It is not a Pearson set task and does not reproduce Pearson assessment materials.
  • Not endorsed by Pearson. Contains no mark schemes.

Licence and refunds

One purchase licenses you and your school to use all eight packs with the students you teach: print them, project them, adapt the Word files for your own lessons and share them with colleagues in your department. Please do not post them publicly, upload them to resource-sharing sites or resell them.

If you are charged twice, cannot open the files, or the bundle is not as described, email support@thebusiness.school and we put it right. Because the files are an immediate digital download and you lose the 14-day right to cancel when you buy, change-of-mind refunds are not offered once you have access. Your statutory rights are unaffected. The seller is TBS Education Ltd Oy; see the full terms and refund policy.

Questions

What exactly do I get?

Eight three-lesson student workbooks and eight teacher guides, one pair for each original, fictional case. All come as PDF and as editable Word files, in one ZIP. Each teacher guide has the lesson plans, full worked answers, completed diagrams and indicative guidance for the written tasks.

Can I edit the files?

Yes. The Word files are editable, so you can change the business name, the figures or the questions before you set it. They were laid out and checked in LibreOffice, not Microsoft Word, so you may see small layout differences in Word; the PDF is the reference layout. The download is a ZIP that opens on Windows and Mac without extra software.

Is it a mark scheme, and is it endorsed?

No to both. The teacher guide gives full answers for calculations and tables, and indicative guidance plus an example answer for each written task. It is not an exam board mark scheme, and the packs award no marks or grades. It is mapped to the specification by section but is not endorsed by Pearson, and contains no exam board questions.

How does delivery work?

After payment you are sent straight to your download page and get a Stripe receipt by email. The download page is personal to your purchase; bookmark it.

What if something is wrong with my order?

Email support@thebusiness.school. The refund policy covers duplicate charges, files you cannot open and products that do not match their description.
