Alsop High School

http://www.alsophigh.org.uk/School_docs/Newsletter.pdf

The Alsop high school newsletter is spread out onto one page and i think this is the ideal length for a newsletter as it contains all of the key points in broken down paragraphs which also makes them easy to read, the fact that it is so short could be seen as a bad point of the newsletter but i believe that it makes it better because it isnt alot to read and the vital information is portrayed easily on the one page.

A negative of this newsletter is the fact that it is mostly in black and white, and the fact that it isnt in colour could put people off that are going to read it because it makes the Alsop newsletter look dull. The fact that there is only one picture could also be a bad point as there could be a few more to make the newsletter look more accessable.

I think the Alsop high school newlsetter appeals to its target audience perfectly as the number of text on the one page isnt too long and it possesses the key facts that parents want to know, and compared to the deyes high school newsletter, that has games and puzzles appeal to children more than the adults, and the fact Alsop dont do that means they probably pay more attention to their target audience which is a good thing.

The use of the 'Headteachers message' on the newsletter is again a nice touch and i believe that it also helps break the text up, and gives the impression the parents are in contact with the headteacher.
