My name is Sophie Slade I am an AS Media student studying at Caroline Chisholm School as a sixth

former. I am researching what sixth formers would like in a new school/ college magazine. I have
designed a questionnaire to help me construct a suitable magazine that the target market would
be likely to buy. The results I get from this questionnaire will only be used for the purpose of the
project and will remain anonymous. Thank you taking your time to complete this questionnaire to
help with my research.

and income. Please tick or write in the box where appropriate.
