Your school has completed a six-week trial in which the library opened every weekday from 8.00 am until 8.40 am. One member of staff supervised each session. At the end of the trial, 70 students who had used the library completed a survey about how often it should open before lessons next term.
| Preferred arrangement | Number of students |
|---|---|
| Every weekday | 39 |
| Three mornings a week | 23 |
| One morning a week | 5 |
| Do not open before lessons | 3 |
Write a speech for a meeting of students and teachers giving your views on whether the school should keep the library open before lessons every weekday, open it on fewer mornings, or discontinue the provision next term. Use the survey results to support your recommendation and consider how far they should guide the school’s decision.
Your work will be assessed on communication and adaptation to audience and purpose (27 marks), and organisation and technical accuracy (18 marks).
