Spending Review 2025

If you want your students to take a look at today's spending review, here are a couple of handy resources:

• Sky News' 5 Things you Need to Know - This one is good for explaining what the spending review is. Plus it's Ed Conway so you know it'll be good.

• BBC Key Points at a Glance - Classic overview article

• BBC 99-second video - useful for a lesson start

• Independent's Spending Review in 5 charts - Some nice graphics

• Guardian's winners and losers - Good for evaluation

• Full Fact's Fact Check - Great for looking at the detail and picking apart some of the phrasing

I have made 5 activities that you might want to consider:

• Notes frame on Sky News' explainer

• Notes frame on the Independent's 5 charts

• Nates frame on the Fact Check

• Sorting the Key Points into budget increases and budget cuts

• Some calculation practice based on the Key Points
