7 years, with the option of leaving at the end of the 5th. The JG staff
were in the 6th form when they started the newspaper. Sixth form,
confusingly, spans 2 years - upper and lower sixth.

Actually this is interesting. By the 6th form Lynda should be 16,
nearly 17 at the youngest. A section entitled "Time and the Junior
Gazette" in the programme guide suggests that the JG starts in the Upper
Sixth, and Lynda is younger than everyone else because she was moved up
a year for being precocious.
