Year 6 Science report comments
Science in Year 6 is a great opportunity to highlight curiosity, investigation skills and the ability to think analytically. These comments reflect all three.
7 example comments across 3 attainment levels. Replace [Pupil] with the child's name.
[Pupil] is a natural scientist. They ask brilliant questions, design investigations carefully and are always thinking about why results turn out the way they do rather than just recording what they see.
[Pupil] has had a fantastic year in science. They are genuinely curious about the world and that curiosity shows in their work, which is detailed, thoughtful and full of the kind of observations that mark out an exceptional learner.

[Pupil] enjoys science and engages well with both theoretical and practical work. They make careful observations and are growing in their ability to explain their findings in scientific terms. Continuing to develop their use of scientific vocabulary will be the next step.
[Pupil] has had a good year in science. They work well during investigations and are beginning to think more critically about their results. With practice in writing up their conclusions in more detail, their science work will reflect the strong thinking they clearly have.
[Pupil] approaches science with a positive attitude and particularly enjoys the practical side of lessons. Recording their observations and ideas in writing remains an area to develop, and we will continue to support them with this.
[Pupil] is making steady progress in science. They engage well with hands-on activities and are becoming more confident in using scientific vocabulary to describe what they observe. Written explanations are developing and will continue to be a focus.
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.
