AQA A LEVEL BUSINESS
Brand new teaching resources for the brand new specification
These NEW resources are for the AQA AS and A level Business
AS (7137) and A level (7138) Specification
For teaching from September 2026 onwards
For AS exams in 2027 onwards
For A-level exams in 2028 onwards
Version 1.0 October 2025
AQA does not have a system in the specification - so we have assigned letters to each of the subtopics to break them into individual PPTS. Otherwise the PowerPoints would be 100s of slides long. These will be available to buy as individual lessons while writing is happening. As soon as a bundle is complete we will put it for sale.
​
PLEASE NOTE: These resources are PPT only (no worksheets) so students can make their own notes. Print out the slides 3 per page to give students a copy to annotate.
We hope to have everything ready by September 2026 for first teaching.

Interactive lessons with lots of activities including, role play, debates, discussions, research, poster making, idea generation and lots more tried and tested
Simpler PowerPoint only design designed for modern students who want to take their own notes. Reduces cost of photocopying. Students also learn to be more concise in their note taking.
Sample questions (some from the legacy where none were available) answers, case study snippets and levels all in one place. All done for every single unit in the specification. Just think how much time this will save you.
Retrieval quizzes to revisit previous units. Starters, plenaries, keywords, theory, application, case studies and interactive activities. These Lessons take days to write, save that time and go out in the sunshine instead!
We are an independent resource provider and our products are not endorsed or paid for by AQA.
Lots of nice verbal quizzes throughout to keep students engaged and which act as mini plenaries. This one is designed to find out how much knowledge students have brought forward from any prior knowledge of business. All the answers included on separate slides.
Retrieval quizzes at the start of each lesson, all the answers included on separate slides. Students can self mark.
Calculations step-by-step with the AQA specific formula - linked to interpretation and analysis. Simple examples which build confidence and lead nicely into the sample exam questions set by AQA.
Lots of activities to set as homework, interactive lesson breakers, consolidation exercises, great for cover, or even just for independent study
Everything is fully editable so you can add in your school logo or change activities as required. Simply print out slides 3 per page format to use as worksheets. Less emphasis on copying from the board, more on application of theory and interactive multimedia lessons with plenty of stretch and challenge.
