Your school has trialled a student-run question desk at lunchtime, where students can ask other students for help with homework. The school is considering whether to continue the desk. All 38 students who used the desk during the trial rated the help they received, and some also made further comments. Their feedback is shown below.
| Feedback | Number of students |
|---|---|
| Found the help useful | 26 |
| Were unsure whether the help was useful | 9 |
| Did not find the help useful | 3 |
| Asked whether the desk could be available every week | 14 |
| Said the queue was too long | 11 |
Write a speech for a school meeting giving your views on whether the question desk should continue and what changes, if any, should be made. Use the trial feedback to support your recommendations.
Your work will be assessed on communication and adaptation to audience and purpose (27 marks), and organisation and technical accuracy (18 marks).
