[Pupil] has had a fantastic year in maths. They have taken to the new demands of Year 3, including column addition and subtraction, with real confidence and are already thinking beyond the method to the reasoning underneath it.
[Pupil] is a capable and enthusiastic mathematician who tackles problems with a real can-do attitude. Their number knowledge is secure and they bring excellent mental arithmetic skills to everything they do.
[Pupil] has made good progress in maths this year and is working well at the expected standard. They have picked up the new column methods confidently and are beginning to recall multiplication and division facts with increasing speed.

[Pupil] tries their best in maths and has made steady progress this year. There are areas where they need additional support, but their willingness to keep trying is something to be genuinely proud of.
How to use these comments
Replace [Pupil] with the child's first name and adjust any detail that does not fit your class or school style. These comments are designed to be a solid starting point, not a finished product. The best report comments are the ones where you have added something specific about that child: a particular achievement, a moment you remember, a challenge they have worked through.
If you want to generate comments that are already specific to your pupils, Staffroom does exactly that. Add your notes about each child, choose a tone, and the comments it generates will be genuinely personal rather than adapted from a template.
