Welcome to the Summer 2026 issue of the Archer Eye!
Here at Stanwell School, a group of Year 13s have created the latest online School Newspaper. Located at the heart of Archer Road, the team at The Archer Eye is eager to share your stories, celebrate your achievements and show the wonderful, exciting and newest insights of each term.
This year's editors for The Archer Eye are looking to expand the newspaper team and take on some new writers!
Being a writer requires you to be able to meet deadlines, communicate with your peers and, of course, write informative and entertaining articles! Guest writers, however, will be able to submit articles for upcoming editions without having to commit to being on the team, and will be featured in their own section.
We are currently looking for students in years 10-13 to apply as full-time writers, but articles from guest writers will be accepted from pupils in any year groups.
in order to apply, email 20joakley@stanwell.org with some short sentences detailing what you would like to write about. If you have no writing preference, let us know and we can assign you something! If you have any queries, please feel free to email.
Below you will find a table of contents. Under each section, there is a list of the articles you will find in this edition, alongside the reporters who wrote the story.
