  1. First Half-term report : David Allan

    Your class performance has been generally very good and you have contributed very well to discussions and practical activities. Make sure you stay focused in class and concentrate on completing all tasks to the best of your ability.


    The practical and written work you have produced shows that you are working just below your Aspirational grade of DD/DM, although some of the tasks you have produced for Music Video and Computer gaming are of excellent quality. This is something that will need to be developed and made more consistent in the next halfterm if you are to achieve the grades you want and are capable of.

    You have produced homework of a generally good quality which has helped you develop the skills and knowledge on the course and demonstrated your skills as an independent learner. Make sure this continues in the next halfterm.



    Target for this half-term : Distinction for all tasks
