MESSAGE FROM THE AUTHOR: "I hope you find these comment banks useful and they save you as much time at the School Report Writer site as they did for me. My main comment banks here cover NC ICT Key Stage 3-4. They are broadly mapped against the NC level statements and cover four main strands Presenting Information, Information Research, Data Handling, and Control. These reports have been furthered by adding a couple of banks regarding a pupils ability to follow the systems development life cycle, homework, and their general achievement in the subject. There are also banks on academic, behavior, and workrate targets for more general use. When used together they will produce reports of between 500-900 words each. I have tried to include a number of 'lists' with adjectives and ICT software, hardware, and curriculum content, which should enable unique reports for each learner. In addition at KS4 I have included a few banks of comments specifically aimed at the CiDA course Unit 1 Using ICT. This is again based loosely on the marking criteria and the six main strands of Planning, Collecting Data, Data Analysis, Publications, E-Portfolios, and Reviews. There are also a couple of target banks related to this course. To help form tutors I have created statement banks regarding workrate, behavior, dress-code, equipment, punctuality, attendance, and participation
