SCHOOL REPORT

James Turner

MATHS: James has made a breakthrough in his maths this year, doing excellent work in comparison with last year. A remarkable achievement.
ENGLISH: This year has seen a dramatic improvement in James’s English. His crowning achievement was his performance in the school production of Othello.
FRENCH: James has an excellent grasp of French. This will come in useful for the school trip to France next year, and we hope he will take advantage of the opportunities to speak French there.
SCIENCE: James has done very well this year, passing his exams without any problems. If he continues to work hard, his success next year is guaranteed.
GEOGRAPHY: James has made good progress with his geography this year, gaining good marks in the end-of-year exam.
HISTORY: James’s history project was a great success. His use of original sources was highly effective. He makes useful contributions in class and has the ability to explain difficult ideas clearly to less able pupils.
ART: James found some effective ways of working with natural materials this year and his self-portrait was a brilliant success.
SPORT: James has been training hard and, as a member of the First Football Team, is now able to enjoy the fruits of his hard work. Playing for the school has certainly brought out the best in him and he has rightly won the respect of all his team-mates.
