| Help with homework | 70 | 48 |
| A place to eat breakfast | 63 | 28 |
| Club or project meetings | 41 | 26 |
| Possible concern | Years 7–8 pupils concerned | Years 9–11 pupils concerned |
|---|---|---|
| Not enough supervision | 72 | 64 |
| The room becoming noisy | 49 | 55 |
| The cost to the school | 43 | 40 |
| Transport preventing pupils from arriving early | 19 | 33 |
Write a letter to your headteacher recommending what the school should provide during a four-week trial.
You should use the survey findings to support your proposal, explain how practical concerns could be managed and suggest how the school should judge whether the trial has worked.
Your response will be assessed for communication and organisation, and for vocabulary, sentence structures, spelling and punctuation. The total includes 16 marks for vocabulary, sentence structures, spelling and punctuation.
