Some time ago (1993 actually), Rowan and fellow Bean creator Robin Driscoll put out a book called "Mr. Bean's Diary". This was basically a little bit of extra Bean fun made for the fans. Although I do not own the book, I've been looking for it for a while. As I find excerpts, I will post them here. (Until I get copyright notices etc...)
CHADWELL SCHOOL FOR BOYS
Term: Summerterm, 1971 Name: [inkblot] Bean
History - 35% - He has no sense of history. But then, of course, he has no sense. T.A.P.R.
Chemistry - 53% - He is inventive. As a result, form SB is lucky to be alive. T.A.B.
Mathematics - 94% - An obnoxious, self-satisfied, self-centered, shabby, dribbling, bone-idle, toadying cow-pat of a pupil; his most revolting quality being that he is quite, quite brilliant. M.J.L.
Physics - 65% - Very encouraging. A boy died when co-operating with his lie-detector experiment, as you know, but nevertheless the exam results were excellent. Mr. Hult
Geography - 54% - A surprisingly good result considering he only succeeded in finding the classroom twice this term. K.W.
Biology - 41% - He really has *no* idea, but then hopefully he will never breed. P.A.B.
Religious Knowledge - 25% - No progress this year, sadly. He once claimed that he worshipped the God of Lemonade which rather confused us all, I'm afraid. N.N.
Art - 58% - He draws well, but has difficulty with nudes (looking at them). P.B.

Good luck. He'll need it. -- Shove [?], Headmaster
