4to18 is a brand new way to reach your target market and make the most of your resources. 4to18 puts education FIRST. 4to18 is a FREE, quarterly, regional, full colour magazine offering all the advantages of direct marketing in a high quality, content-rich format. It is a unique way for schools and other organisations to reach a sophisticated, affluent customer base with minimum waste. 4to18 will be distributed direct to a database of households with children in the age range nought to 18. In simple terms, the target readership will be families with school age children who are in a position to choose from all the options when it comes to their children’s education. But it’s much more than that. 4to18 is a directory of all schools in the area, a digest of local and national education news plus analysis and features presented in an entertaining and informed manner by a team with many years experience in national magazines and newspapers. No two editions of 4to18 will go to the same database. Using census information overlaid with the very latest consumer data and constant data scrubbing means we have the most accurate customer database available. This is rebuilt for each edition to minimise waste and maximise your return. 4to18 will be published four times a year to reflect key marketing periods in the school calendar. 4to18 offers you a unique opportunity to reach prospective pupils via their parents. Unlike other publications where schools advertising is merely another feature in the diary, 4to18 exists to make sure you make the most out of your marketing spend.

E S A E L RthE e E R U S S E R P How a rose can take some of the stress and anxiety our of revision time
Some children sail through exams with very little stress. In fact, some parents wish their children would get more stressed about exams! For others even small tests cause real anxiety. There are lots of ways to help your child deal with exam stress, from practical things like providing healthy food and helping him to getting organised, to actually supporting your child with revision. This simple rule covers the four things your child will need to do during exam time: Revise and recap Organise time and work Sleep and rest Eat healthily
Revising
Revision needs to be active: reading through notes will not make them stick in your child's memory. Encourage him to make notes, to highlight key points and words and to go over each topic several times. At the end of each topic, suggest he makes a short list of the main points. These will be useful for a quick revision session the night before each exam. There are plenty of websites which offer revision games and activities as well as practice papers with mark schemes. Using a variety of techniques will help all the information to sink in. Praise your child when he is working hard. Small rewards can be a real incentive to work, too.
Getting organised
Work out a revision timetable together early on so that your child allows enough time to cover all the topics he needs to revise. Ticking off each topic as it's done can help revision seem more manageable. Make sure your child is setting realistic targets. Trying
to cram in too much creates stress and prevents learning. On a calendar, mark exam dates and get a thick pen to cross off exam days once they're over. This will help you both feel that there is an end in sight! Help your child to organise his clothes, food and pens the night before each exam. Feeling organised about the little things will help to cut down on stress.
Sleep and rest
Encourage your child to get plenty of sleep and to take regular breaks while he's revising. The brain will work better if it's rested. Trying to cram in last-minute revision the night before an exam is generally a bad idea. It will make your child panic and might even affect his performance the following day. It's much better to have a relaxing evening the night before each exam so he can do his best the following day. Exercise, even a walk to the shops, will help your child to concentrate when he gets back to work. It can also help him to sleep better. Discourage your child from drinking caffeinerich drinks like tea, coffee and cola in the evening as caffeine can disturb sleep. Make sure an alarm is set for the next morning! Waking up in a panic or even arriving late for an exam only makes things more stressful.
Eating
It's important to eat a healthy, balanced diet all the time, but during exam times this is vital. Eating well will help your child to focus and do his best. Try to discourage your

Duel by David Grossman,
translated by Betsy Rosenburg (Bloomsbury, £4.99) Age 11-15yrs
The Marsh Award was established to raise the profile of books written in languages other than English. We are poor at exploring such literature, although it is heartening to find Egmont and Orchard publishing strongly in this area. Duel, this year's winner, is short, touching and often comic. It has a distinctive accent, but this is a distinctive book. David, volunteering in an old people's home, finds himself in the midst of a long-standing row between two old men. This is a poignant reminder Quarterley
