Example 11

A section of the school website entitled 'Why Choose Gordano?' informing parents (and prospective students) 
why gordano is the place for them. 



http://www.gordano.n-somerset.sch.uk/the-school/why-choose-gordano/

The article is primarily used to advertise the school to prospective parents and students whilst also informing them
of why Gordano School would be the place for them. 

Just from reading the first few lines of the article it is evident that although typically an article for prospective parents
and students would be aimed at both parents and students, the formal use of language is not entirely appropriate
to student due to students from year 7 upwards not knowing the definitions of words like 'industrious' not being
at the top of their vocabulary list. The phrase 'find avenues to personal success and self-esteem' is not necessarily
something that will inspire youthful minds. Therefore, the article as a whole may not entirely be fit for purpose and
so should be adapted to suit it's intended audience. The short paragraphs that are used also makes the information
 absorbed easily in short bursts will key bits standing out. This could lead to the text being remembered better than
 if the whole text was in one large block.
