Mathematics C (Arithmetic D, Algebra D, Geometry B). "Rather slow. He possesses ability but needs to be rather more alert at Mathematics." - E.W. Maynard Potts, Head Master, April 1st, 1942

French D. "He has enough intelligence to master his weakness in French." - E.W. Maynard Potts, Head Master, December, 1942

French D. "I suggest that he should talk to some of our fifth formers about his weakness in French. They will soon convince him of the folly of ignoring such weaknesses in the fourth form." - E.W. Maynard Potts, Head Master, April, 1943

French C-. "His work is often far below standard. He will probably do well in the certificate year and then spoil his final result by failing in French. I advise him to do elementary work in French during the holidays" - E.W. Maynard Potts, Head Master, July, 1943
