COMMENTS: Line 1 1=jkjhkh 2=hkh 3=ljj 4=nn 5=jk COMMENTS: lockdown 1=#N's engagement in remote learning has been very inconsistent. #E has not logged in to nearly two thirds of the live lessons and as a result has missed a large proportion of new content. In order to move forward #N must ensure #e remains focussed in lessons and listens to explanations to help #h understanding. #N must ensure that #e is completing all classwork and homework fully and to a good standard. #E should also make an effort to participate in lessons by making contributions. 2=Since remote learning began, #N has attended the majority of live lessons and attempted most work. Despite this, efforts to complete work have been variable, with some pieces completed to a better standard than others. Moving forward, in order that #N maximises #h CAG #e must maintain #h focus in all lessons and complete all classwork and homework fully and to a good standard. 3=Since remote learning began #N has attended live lessons and, in part, contributed to answering questions during these. While #N has attempted most pieces of classwork, #h efforts have been variable. Some work was completed to a good standard while others seem to lack understanding and detail. #N must ensure #e takes time to listen to explanations to develop an understanding before completing work. 4=I have been extremely impressed with #N’s self-discipline and hard work through this period of distance learning. #H last piece of work that was set and marked on google classroom showed great effort, good scientific detail and logical thinking. 5=I have identified #N as a concern since we began distance learning due to lack of work and engagement and this has been communicated through the weekly communication to parents. It is important that #N becomes much more self-disciplined and get on top of the work #e has missed otherwise #N will find the requirements of the next stages of #h education significantly challenging. 6=I can see that #N has struggled a little through this period of distance learning, the work that is done is sporadic and #e may find that #e is missing chunks of topics that may be difficult to identify. 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: Sample project-work sentences 1=#E has worked hard this year on all of #h projects but I was especially impressed with the high-quality of #h #Science-topics assignment. 2=Project-work has been done to a minimum standard and is often handed in late. To improve #e needs to #How-to-improve. 3=Although #h #Science-topics project-work was satisfactory, I do expect #m to do more background research next time. 4=#H project-work is always excellent as demonstrated in #h #Science-topics assignment. We were all very impressed with #h creative and entertaining website designs which were an inspiration to the class. 5=#H project-work has varied considerably, however #h highly-imaginative #Science-topics project was excellent and was displayed in reception at the School Open Day. An excellent achievement #N. COMMENTS: Sample summing-up sentences 1=#N always tries #h best and has achieved a well-deserved Level #? overall. An excellent performance, keep it up! {BR}{BR} Next semester dates: {BR} Monday September 1st - Friday December 22nd. 2=#N has reached Level #?. This was #h target and #e should be proud of #s. To ensure #e keeps this up next year #e should #How-to-improve. {BR}{BR} Next semester dates: {BR} Monday September 1st - Friday December 22nd. 3=#N has achieved a Level #? overall. #E often works below #h best and with a little more effort #e could easily reach Level #?. To improve #e should #How-to-improve. {BR}{BR} Next semester dates: {BR} Monday September 1st - Friday December 22nd. 4=#N has not had the best of starts this year and is still working at Level #?. #E rarely completes #h work on time. To achieve more next year #e needs to #How-to-improve. {BR}{BR} Next semester dates: {BR} Monday September 1st - Friday December 22nd. COMMENTS: subject specific strength 1=#N uses #h knowledge and understanding to describe, and to begin to make links between ,core concepts in Science. 2=#N's work shows an increasing depth of knowledge and understanding of key concepts in Science. 3=#E can give some of the causes and consequences of the main events and start to make links between them. 4=#N displays a keen awareness of cause and consequence and displays a very good ability to come to a reasoned Science conclusion based upon categorising scientific evidence from practical and data presented. 5=Effort and behaviour within lessons is of an excellent standard and verbal contributions show #e is confident in discussing our current topic. #N is able to explain concepts such as change and continuity and has a good understanding of the topics covered in all three sciences. 6=#N is confident in dealing with source work and has made good strides in moving forward with the application of scientific knowledge to explanation. 7=#N has displayed a strong engagement with the subject, and this has undoubtedly helped #h development and understanding. COMMENTS: Targets 1=To continue making progress and consolidate #h knowledge, #N should challenge #s a more in lessons. #N can sometimes get slightly distracted, which then holds #m back from completing tasks in as much detail as possible. 2=#N’s work can sometimes be undeveloped, and #e should focus on using specific scientific terminology sources to back up reasons and conclusion 3=#N must continue to work hard to improve #h knowledge and understanding of scientific concepts. 4=I would encourage #N to carry on working as #e is currently and continue to ask if #h needs further clarification or support. 5=I would encourage #N further #h knowledge by research particular areas that #e finds interesting within the work set.

Homework and classwork are of an excellent standard. 12=#N has gone from strength to strength in Science this year, growing in confidence and seeing definitive progress across #h work 13=#N is a hardworking member of the group who clearly enjoys the subject and verbal contributions show #e is confident in the subject area. 14=#N is a delight to teach and puts in a great amount of effort every lesson, always ensuring that #e asks for extra guidance or clarification if needed. 15=#N works, generally, well in lessons, completing classwork and homework to a good standard and involving #s confidently in class discussions. 16=#N is a very polite student who has worked well in Science this year. X has made steady progress, although there is room for improvement. 17=#N is a quiet and reserved student but has displayed more evidence of confidence as the year has progressed. COMMENTS: Year 7 starters 1=During year 7, #N has studied a bespoke course covering aspects of biology, chemistry, and physics. #E has been assessed through end-of-topic tests. The recent topic test has recently assessed students' knowledge on the topic of light, sound, chemical reactions, the periodic table, and cells. It is intended that #N gets to experience the laboratory environment in the summer term and experience more practical science. COMMENTS: year 7 summing up 1=#N has worked hard and made very good progress in science this year. 2=#N has become more confident in putting forward #h own ideas and explanations. 3=#N must ensure that #e does not leave blank spaces in the exam, as often an educated guess will gain marks, whereas a blank space will not. 4=Particular attention must be paid to #h exam technique and the scientific vocabulary #e uses in #h answers. 5=#H answers can sometimes be a little brief and lacking sufficient detail to gain full marks. #N would therefore benefit from revision before exams and making flashcard of #h notes as we go through topics. COMMENTS: year 8 starting statements 1=During year 8, #N has studied a bespoke course covering aspects of biology, chemistry and physics. #E has been assessed through a combination of written assessments and end of topic tests.
