The document discusses research conducted to gather opinions on a proposed school magazine. The author handed out questionnaires to students ages 15-18 asking about demographics, magazine reading habits, pricing and frequency preferences for a school magazine. Most respondents were willing to pay £1-£1.99 for a monthly magazine, with content relevant to sixth form students to inform them about school events and options after leaving school.

2. As part of my research I have handed out questionnaires to people
in and around sixth from to get some views and opinions about a
school magazine. I asked in total 8 questions about how old the
person is, there gender and what they would think a school
magazine is useful and what they would like to see in it. I have 6
completed copies of my questionnaire filled in by students and
some have given similar and different research.
Target audience
My target audience for my magazine is students between the age of
15-18 who are still thinking of what they want to do when they leave
school and do A-levels. My questionnaire has been answered by
people in this age range so I can get an idea of what sort of this can
be included in the magazine and what's relevant for a sixth from
magazine.

3. I asked a few people in person about the possibility of a
school magazine and they said …
‘ It will encourage more pupils and students to read, as
well as learning about the school. I would personally buy
a magazine as it will keep me up to date with school
events.’
Alex ,16
‘ I think the idea of a school magazine sounds like a
good idea, and I would buy one if they were published.
However I think they may struggle to sell as pupils and
students may not be interested in reading about school
and spending money on a magazine.’
Daryl, 17

8. From my research there was 6 males and 4 females
that completed the questionnaire. Every student that
completed the questionnaire was in year 12 and 2
people were 17 and 8 were 16.
Out of the 10 people I asked 6 people never read
magazines and 4 people read magazines about 1-3
times a week. 7 of the students were willing to pay
£1-£1.99, 2 would pay £0-£0.99 and one person
would pay £2-£4.
