The ‘Apprentice’ style task for year seven pupils was set by Councillor Andy Botham, Derbyshire County Council’s Deputy Cabinet Member for Jobs, Economy and Transport.

More than 150 students began the mission in November and spent six lessons researching, writing and designing the magazines as part of a team.
