As a teacher of Greek and Latin in a large English Public School, Ximenes must have written thousands of end-of-term reports. In this DLM puzzle he parodies the school-masterly comment without remorse. If I am breaking copyright I am ready to remove this puzzle promptly. It is published not for financial reward, but as a tribute to a real genius.
Each 'Report' contains both clues (one word or more, consecutively) to two required words and hidden mixtures of their letters. Both indications of the first word precede both indications of the second; with respect to any one word, either the clue or the mixture may come first, and they do not overlap.
Across

has to be sat on most of the term (7,5)
10, 11. Rather a rough boy - not a bad hand at Art. Must not go unclothed;
it causes explosions (10,9)

C block; never in hot water (5,6)
16, 18. An enigma; can only be got at through a variegated layer of shyness
and rudeness. Must show respect to his seniors in the house (6,3)
19, 20. Wilting; is not really forceful. One must be sure new monitors aren't
'flappers', down under stress (8,8)
23, 25. A born leader of men - excellent! Useful at cricket: his bowling
run-up should be shortened (3,6)
27, 28. Worthier of trust, though seen stealing once. Vigorous at games:

9, 12. When Agatha's former companionship stops we may discern a notable
improvement. Sea bathing:- Good (7,10)
14, 17. Margaret is our choral ex-secretary. Musical work:- In a prefect
