School Magazine Front Cover

Questionaire Results

I handed the questionaire around the school and based on my results i will now create a front cover for the school magazine.
Most of the students particually liked the name " Student Life" for the magazine and the price of £1 was reasonable for a magazine they wanted to be out every month. The school relishes on the sporting sucsess over the years and students would like to hear about up and coming success which are them selves in this magazine. The content of the magazine was decided by pupiles and the most popular one was universities as pupiles prepering for university want to know more information about which ones teachers recommend and which has the best sucsess rate etc. Also i found out that the pupils reading the magazine would like it to be around 20 pages of useful information.
