Friday 6 May 2016 saw the official launch of the Ramsey Academy’s first student magazine. The efforts of a number of pupils from all year groups resulted in the first edition of the ‘Ramsey Ram’ being published. Pupils who were interested in writing, publishing, editing, photography or who were simply creative and wanted to try something different were invited to an initial club launch meeting in February.
The turnout was astonishing, with pupils filling up the seats and the floor of the classroom. The name of the magazine was chosen and the work began to produce news reports, reviews, stories and agony aunt entries.
After weeks of preparing and writing, the editing team (Amelia Dean, Hannah Martin-Pocock, Ryan Staples, Jasmin Selby and William Farrelly) got to work selecting and organising the material for the first edition. It was then up to the talents of Gemma Georgio to design and put the finishing touches to the magazine. The pupils are extremely delighted with the outcome and are already hard at work on the second edition which we hope to be even bigger and better. - Miss H Siseman
