COMMENTS: Sample intro sentences 1=#N is an outstanding student who has worked very hard throughout the #Time-period and I expect #m to do well in #h exams next year. 2=#N has had a mixed #Time-period but there are signs of improvement in #h behaviour of late. 3=After a difficult start #N has done some excellent work and is now back on target. A very pleasing #Time-period. Well done #N! 4=#N is a friendly and hard-working member of the class and has put in a steady performance throughout the #Time-period. 5=Overall #N has worked very well but there are a few issues with #h time-keeping and homework that #e needs to address. 6=We have been working on the Environmental Issues module throughout the #Time-period. #N seems to enjoy this topic and has made very pleasing progress.

COMMENTS: target 1=There are plenty of numeracy revision ideas online to help pupils to practise and to improve progress independently. Anything that helps #N develop and secure number skills will be beneficial over the summer and will help keep concepts fresh for next September. In class answers can be improved by showing method and reading the question carefully before showing logical steps to find a solution. 2=To improve understanding in mathematics it is vital that #N reads the question carefully before trying to answer. In class we will be working on problem solving questions that will have a similar structure to the reasoning paper. In order for #N to do #h best #e should demonstrate the effort to want to improve. If #N wants to revise at home there are many good resources available online. 3=A very quick improvement that #N can complete is to settle at the start of lessons and get #h book out so that the lesson has a prompt start. We have looked at the numeracy tests and picked out topics for development next year. #N can help #s over the summer by looking at some of the many online resources available to develop understanding in number. This will ensure that #e is confident in basic number work allowing us to develop topics faster.

COMMENTS: yr 10 covd comment 1=STRIVE Year 10 have been focused this year on topics pertaining to GCSE Mathematics such as Algebra and Probability. This has been building on the work in Year 9 to prepare for GCSE Mathematics. From September the focus will switch to topics relating to GCSE Numeracy. Whilst there are some topics which crossover both subjects we will start the academic year targeting traditional Numeracy topics such as Boxplots and Cumulative Frequency. COMMENTS: yr 11 comments 1 1=As we get closer to the exams #N is showing a lack of motivation in class that is going to directly affect #h grade. #N is not taking proper revision notes or putting full effort into lessons which is a concern for #h chances of a good grade. 2=As we get closer to the exams #N is showing an improved motivation in class that is going to help #m to get #h best grade possible. #N is taking some good revision notes and putting an improved effort into lessons which will help #h chances of a good grade. 3=As we get closer to the exams #N is showing a much improved motivation in class that is going to help #m to get #h best grade possible. #N is taking good revision notes and putting an improved effort into lessons which will help #h chances of a good grade. COMMENTS: yr 11 comments 2 1=#E has had particular difficulty with allowing #s to be distracted by the behaviours of others either inside or outside of the classroom and requires constant attention to keep #m on task. 2=shows an enjoyment for the subject and has always been willing to do the work requested.
