Bradley has also explored a variety of materials in design and technolegy. He must take more time to plan and build his design in order to produce a well finished product.

General Comment - Bradley has shown a great deal of progression in mathmatics this year, this is obviously the subject he enjoys the most. He has achieved an average standard in all other areas of the curriculum. Bradley has the ability to succeed even more, if he puts in the dedication and effort. Bradley is on School Action Plus due to his sometimes, inappropriate behaviour; He can often be silly and distract those around him. Bradley needs to become more self motivated in order to achieve the levels he deserves next year.

Bradley is a pleasent, cheerful and lively boy. He still needs to grow in maturity as he is still unable to do responsible jobs sensibly. Bradley is always enthusiastic and contributes to class activities.

Well done Bradley!
