Simon has reached a satisfactory standard but now needs to 

apply himself withmore determination.

Mathematics

85

Sound work and progress throughout the year. Well done!

History

A disappointing exam result. He is unable to give attention to this 

subject for long.

Chemistry

78

85

His obvious ability in the subject was not fully reflected in 

his exam work, but I have high hopes for him nevertheless.

Physics

86

94

An excellent term’s performance. He goes from strength to 

strength. A born scientist, I feel.

Biology

This time next year he will be taking the "O" Level exam.He needs toconcentrate on the work, not on class conversation.

French

Clearly he didn’t bother to revise. His general attitude is far 

too casual.

Weak. It’s time he exercised his body more and his voice less. He 

should try to work with a team.
