Report writing varies enormously from school to school. Some schools supply the parents with a sentence about each subject and others one or two paragraphs.
Parents are not usually familiar with national curriculum jargon so plain English is by far the best style. Reports are better received if the vocabulary is descriptive and concise so avoid using the words 'good' 'well' and 'bad' and 'average'. These words give a very general picture and so they are not very informative for parents. You can usually find a more interesting and thoughtful comment. Try these:
participates sensibly
grasps new concepts quickly
loves learning new skills
understands clearly
takes pleasure in
concentrates for long periods
enjoys being involved in
lively imagination
wide general knowledge
has a wide range of interests
puts in best effort
has read widely
is quick to transfer new information from his short-term to long-term memory
is well-organised/reliable/keen
sensible/careful worker
continues to improve
retains facts easily.
Getting the tone right is almost as important as getting the information across accurately. Remember that you are dealing with parents so you must find ways of making your comments accurate as well as sensitive.
If you write a report which is largely negative it can lead to a breakdown in relations between the school and the home. Although you have to be honest about the pupils' shortcomings, it is important to highlight their strengths and your tone should display your own interest in and care for the child.
Try using expressions such as:
I was pleased when...
I hope he will soon...
I should be delighted if...
I hope he will develop his talent for...
I enjoy teaching her because...
I wish her well next year
For the less able:
slow but perseveres
tries hard but needs extra support with
does his best but lacks confidence
is fairly keen but has a short attention span
often tries hard but can be careless
needs lots of practice at each level
copes best in a small group
needs extra practice at each level to keep up with the class
acquires new skills/concepts after a lot of practice.
For the reluctant learner:
makes avoidable mistakes
needs to check her work more closely
needs to supervised closely to keep her on task
needs to put in more effort to keep up with the group
is easily distracted
often needs to finish off his work at break-times.
For the child with poor social skills:
needs to consider other children's feelings
has not yet learnt how to make friends
does not realise that other children will treat him exactly as he treats them
does not realise that other children deserve as much attention as her
must learn that he will never get his own way by giving cheek.
Writing reports can be an daunting task in your first year, but take heart knowing that when you have completed it once, it will be easier next year.
