BW

Hugely enthusiastic, full of ideas and with a passion to be involved - he is making much of the academic diet on offer. He has earned commendations and optima in Latin and I hope will target other subjects, using the guidance his teachers give for developing his work. The work will increase as he goes up the school and he must address issues of focus in class, and let others with different learning styles benefit too. Managing his involvement in lessons so that it is positive for all is an important task for next term.

I am very glad he has enjoyed his sport. I hope by the end of the year he will be able to report on his involvement and enjoyment of other activities available here - there are so many great opportunities to try.

Henry has a glint in the eye and an interest in seeing new angles which will fire him through the more advanced academic challenges he faces ahead of him. In the mean time he has had to deal with organisation problems with his work, which he has made progress with, although there appears to be a lag in staff noticing this or there is more to do yet. I am pleased that his T-tick and commendation score is now very much in credit, and I look for more of this commitment. However, I am concerned at the comments above on poor focus in class. Henry must appreciate that the learning experience includes listening and thinking and that he can gain a lot from sharing exploration of issues in class.

I am delighted that he has explored and enjoyed new activities, which is such a strength of Oakham.
