COMMENTS.
CHRIS has the ability to cope

rush to complete it and therefore
his answers have lacked depth and
thought.
His use of evidence is limited and
reflects his lack of concentration,
and his failure to listen to
instructions.
He is often a distracting influence
in the lesson and this is also
stopping him from achieving
his best. S.Taller.LIBRARY SKILLS.
ACHIEVEMENT.

This is unfair on them and
damaging to CHRIS.

attainment targets and has had
some success at the lower levels
in his tests.
Much more careful learning of

levels.
ATTITUDE.
CHRIS attitude often leaves
a lot to be desired.
He is often out of his seat,
borrowing pens, pencils, etc, from
others, or deliberately interfering
with their work.
Under the closest supervision he
can produce good work, but he
cannot be given the individual
attention which his behaviour demands
all the time.

good level of understanding, he
has not put this into practice in
his project.

ACHIEVEMENT.
Chris has shown a need
to improve his
work to bring it up
to an acceptable
standard.
COMMENTS.
Chris needs to be much more organised in both his
attitude and approach to his work.
I think that he is able to do the work, but the two
pieces of work which were handed in have both scored
low marks.
During the rest of the time he has either lost books
or not handed in work.
During lessons there have been a few occasions when
Chris has produced reasonable work, but more often
he is un-co-operative and refuses to do any work.
He disrupts the work of others and on many occasions
has to be moved.
I hope to see an improvement.

FORM TUTORS COMMENTS.
This is a disappointing and
unsatisfactory report. I had hoped
to see an improvement,
in his level of attainment but his
standard work appears to be
deteriorating because of his
un co-operative and often disruptive
behaviour. This is a pity because i
know CHRIS can be polite, friendly
and hard working and has potentialto do well.
However, education is a two way
process and CHRIS will have to adjust
his behaviour if he is to succeed.

HEAD OF YEAR.
CHRIS is not without ability.
He must seek attention for good work
and positive behaviour and not by
disrupting other pupils.
He needs a new start and there is
no time like the present.
HEAD TEACHER.
Some good advice here which i
hope CHRIS will take. A.Soles.
