COMMENTS: PD01: Attendance
1=#N’s attendance is excellent and, should it continue, I am sure this will play a major role in ensuring successful outcomes.
2=#N’s attendance is good, and #e should ensure #e maintains this standard in order to ensure maximum access to learning.
3=#N’s attendance could be improved, and #e should work to do so in order to lessen the potential negative impact it may have upon outcomes.
4=#N’s attendance is a cause for concern. It is extremely important that #e works to improve this urgently in order to maximise remaining learning time.

COMMENTS: PD01: Introduction
1=So far this year, during Personal Development and Tutor time, #N has covered a variety of topics including; GCSE success, Healthy relationships and Democracy.
2=So far this year, during Personal Development and Tutor time, #N has covered a variety of study skills topics including: (What does it mean to be British, Drugs awareness, rights and responsibilities and revision techniques).

COMMENTS: PD02: Attitude
1=#N’s attitude to learning is excellent and it is clear that #e is both eager to learn and determined to succeed - #N should aim to maintain this high standard throughout the remainder of Year 10 and beyond.
2=#N’s attitude to learning is good showing that #e is usually keen to learn and to try to succeed
3=#N’s attitude to learning is a little inconsistent - #N should aim to have a positive approach to learning across all subjects in order to ensure #e achieves to the very best of #h ability.
4=#N’s attitude to learning is currently limited with a variable commitment to succeed - if #N is to achieve #h potential, this will need to rapidly improve.

COMMENTS: PD03: Readiness
1=#N is always well prepared for school, carrying all necessary equipment and wearing the correct uniform.
2=#N is usually well prepared for school, with the correct equipment and uniform but would benefit from improving #h consistency.
3=#N is often ill prepared for school in terms of lacking the essential equipment needed. However, #N’s uniform is always well presented.
4=#N is often not prepared for the school day, lacking the essential equipment needed and without the correct uniform. In order to be full prepared for the day ahead, #N needs to ensure this improves urgently.

COMMENTS: PD03: Written work
1=The quality of #h written work has been consistently excellent, both in terms of content and presentation.
2=The general quality of #h written work has been consistently very good, both in terms of content and presentation.
3=Written work has been rather variable - often detailed and carefully presented, but sometimes only just adequate.
4=#H written work often displays an excellent understanding but #e needs to spend a little more time on the presentation of #h work.
5=#H written work has been very variable, occasionally excellent, but too often superficial and/or rushed.
6=#H written work has been acceptable much of the time but needs to pay some attention to presentation.
7=However, #h written work, while usually acceptable, is rarely as detailed or as well presented as I would wish.
8=#H written work has been very variable, occasionally excellent, but does need some improvement overall.
9=#H written work is usually OK, it can lack some depth which #e demonstrates verbally when challenged.

COMMENTS: PD04: Summary
1=An excellent year so far.
2=A good year so far - keep it up.
3=A mixed year so far, there is still a lot more to do.
4=Not the best year, more needs to be done by #N to reach #h potential.
5=An excellent start to the year.
6=A good start to the year - keep it up.
7=A mixed start to the year, there is still a lot more to do.
8=Not the best start to the year, more needs to be done by #N to reach #h potential.

COMMENTS: TRA0 Intro
1=We are not at the point in the Biology course we would be at with Year 10 usually but we’re still progressing well enough that we’ll make up the missed time by sometime in Year 11. Year 10 Mocks have been postponed to some point in the spring term and will give us a clear and reliable picture of strengths and weaknesses for #N.

COMMENTS: TRA02: improvements
1=To improve, #N needs to focus #h attention on Selective Breeding, Evolution, Hormones, Cell structures, Cell transport, Enzymes and Genetics.
2=#N is developing a very good understanding of many topics but would benefit from some extra focus on Selective Breeding, Evolution, Hormones, Cell structures, Cell transport, Enzymes and Genetics.
3=#N needs some more focus on understanding key ideas in Biology such as Cell structures, Enzymes and Cell transport including Diffusion, Osmosis and Active Transport.
4=#N is making progress in all areas but really needs to focus on #h exam technique. Therefore, spending time on practise questions and reading the questions carefully before answering would be the best use of #h time.

COMMENTS: yr11 report targets
1=It is important that #N​ understands deeply 1. The structure of animal, plant and bacterial cells 2. Enzymes and how they function and also 3. Cell transport (diffusion, osmosis and active transport) as these 3 main concepts underpin all other parts of the course. This can be done by accessing either FOLDR (and accessing the revision folders) or BBC bitesize by searching for ‘BBC Edexcel key concepts combined science’.
2=It is important that #N​ understands deeply the basics like 1. The structure of animal, plant and bacterial cells 2. Enzymes and how they function and also 3. The keywords associated with each topic and how to use them. This can be done by accessing either FOLDR (and looking in the revision folders) or BBC bitesize by searching for ‘BBC Edexcel key concepts combined science’.
3=It is important that #N​ understands deeply 1. Enzymes and how they function and also 2. Cell transport (diffusion, osmosis and active transport) plus being very confident using keywords in answers to develop better quality answers. This can be done by accessing either FOLDR (and looking for specific revision topics known to be an area for improvement for #m) or BBC bitesize by searching for ‘BBC Edexcel key concepts combined science’.
