What you need

Steps

  1. Write the word NOTICE at the top center of the page in capital letters. Put the name of your school or organisation just below it.

  2. Add a short heading that states the topic, such as Lost Mobile Phone or Annual Sports Day. Keep it to a few words and center it.

  3. Write the date of issue under the heading, on the left side. Use a full date like 14 August 2026.

  4. Open the body with a line naming the audience, for example All students of Class 10. Then state the purpose in the first sentence.

  5. Add the key details: what, when, where, who can take part and what to bring. Use short sentences and keep it to about 50 words.

  6. Close with a line telling readers what to do next, such as Report to the class teacher by 10 a.m. or Contact the undersigned for details.

  7. Sign off with the name and designation of the writer, like Head Boy or Secretary, Sports Club, at the bottom left.

  8. Put the whole notice inside a neat box. Check spelling, dates and that every fact matches the question.

Tips and common mistakes

Do not write a salutation or a subject line, since a notice is not a letter.

Keep the body under 50 words and avoid full paragraphs.

Use passive, formal wording such as All students are informed rather than I want to tell you.

Always box the notice and keep the heading, date and signature in the right places for full marks.

Questions

What is the correct order of a notice?

Name of the organisation, the word NOTICE, heading, date, body, then the writer's name and designation. All of it sits inside a box.

How many words should a notice have?

Most exam boards expect about 50 words in the body. Stay within the limit and put the important facts first.

Do I need to write a signature in a notice?

You write the name and designation of the person issuing it, such as Secretary or Principal. A real signature is not needed.
