Design a Questionnaire

This is my questionnaire with 14 questions. I chose to display them on a word puzzle because I thought this was interesting and slightly enticing and also suited the school concept. The questions aren't numbered, nor are they located in colonies of the same sort of question. 
Questions which will effect the content within the magazine are coloured yellow here: 
I think that with school questionnaires, it can be easy to answer as a student with answers that teachers want. Therefore most of my content questions are aimed at unearthing what students enjoy. 
This question aims at finding what exactly students like to read the most, that a school could aspire to. Obviously a school magazine couldn't full the objectives of magazines like the Rolling Stone or National Geographic, so I chose three magazines which a school could be inspired by. Wallpaper* magazine is an art, theatre, and music magazine so this could represent my school if we placed a lot of emphasis on these subjects. As well as these things, The Guardian covers some much more factual things such as politics, scientific findings, and mathematical advances, so this could represent my school if the magazine concentrated on these subjects. Finally, the community magazine which is the most diverse from both of these genres; if the majority of pupils enjoy the community magazine in comparison to Wallpaper* or the Guardian, this clearly states that pupils enjoy knowing what is going on within their local society, and that the school magazine should consider this.
This question will effect the content of the magazine for obvious reasons. If there is a large population of pupils who attend debate club for example, then it would be smart to contemplate including a political section within the magazine. This question is being asked so that I can prioritise the most popular subjects and even possibly charge specific teachers or classes to create articles based off their projects, etc.
These two questions serve the same purpose and are just aimed at finding what the expectations for the school magazine are. Due to the fact that one of these questions is a closed question, this will allow a precise clear outcome that I compare easily. These questions are all factual to ease the popularity of the magazine. The question "what style of journalism do you prefer" is neccessary because it manipulated my choice concerning the type of magazine I create, and the question "what year group are you in" is intrinsic because it will allow me to see if there is possibly a correlation between a generation, for example year 13's may think community-based articles are the most valid, whereas year 8's might think drama is the most important.
