  1. It would be so useful if the support team could have access to a tool that would show what assessments have been added for which pupils, subjects, terms by whom and when. We are asked to investigate instances where schools suspect data has been changed, or a staff member says data was entered but is not there or data has been entered and the school would like to know when it was entered and who by eg #746745. The ability to share detailed info on data that has been entered (summative and statutory at least) would often resolve queries quickly.

  2. In the new version of the Primary summative data, you are now unable to see the previous term's level. This now makes it much more time consuming for teachers to update and change the assessment levels. Furthermore there is no clear and easy way to print out the summative levels to have in front of teachers whilst they are doing this.

    Moving to Sonar has brought many challenges with things being different to Target Tracker, but one of the selling points to staff was that the interface was more intuitive and we only needed to change data points for the…

  3. With the new Summative Assessment screens you cannot bulk fill a child to be working on a lower band than their current one e.g. Year 6 to a 3At or EM. You could do it in the old screens

  4. Schools should be able to edit the ARE headers in EYFS the same way the can in the primary area.
    This will allow them to see reports, such as EYFS age related overview that directly correlate to the summative entry headers.

  5. KS1 Summary data Screen. For the KS1 data summary screen it would be really useful just to have TAs on this screen. It is unclear what things are in there at the moment. Depending on what has been entered it can actually show a mixture of Scores and TAs? Fewer columns, clearer headings, just TAs would be great.

  6. A single, downloadable to Excel, report that enables you to view test scores against your summative teacher assessment using data stored in the Subject Overview report.

    The suggested workaround is very clunky https://help.junipereducation.org/hc/en-gb/articles/22265670881693-Sonar-Tracker-How-can-I-compare-test-scores-with-teacher-assessment

  7. In Sonar Tracker, under Primary Formative, the choice of changing the options when the objectives are clicked. Something along the lines of met and not met, met being green and not met being red.

  8. Formative assessments to inform the summative.
    Could there be a way the formative assessments are visualised when adding the summative? This ensures the teacher is able to make an informed decision based on the formative data added in. For example if Child A is Just at for most of the formative assessments, seeing it when inputting the summative takes away the guess work or having to flick backwards and forwards. This could be sorted into the core subjects as well so the teacher can look at the specific data they need to make their informed decision. Data can be viewed…

  10. We have some children working on the Sandwell skills ladders, which come before the National Curriculum objectives. Previously, these were displayed as P Levels and helped track the children's progress. At the moment, there is just the Engagement model, which could be broken down further to be like the skills ladders EM Building concepts, EM Level 1, EM Level 2 and EM Level 3.
    I would really appreciate it if we could have these options please, because oherwise we would have no way to record this. Thankyou so much!!

  11. It would be useful for the data entry screen in the test scores area to be colour coded according the school ARE settings. This would give a clear snapshot of pupil data.

  12. TT allowed users to display highlighted objectives ordered by the relevant TAF standard, rather than the year group/band. This allowed teachers to spot gaps and enter judgements. This would be useful for KS1, KS2 and for EYFS ELG assessment.

  13. Phonics Phase Tracking is available in OTrack (Under Teacher Assessments) where schools track using programmes such as Read Write Inc or Letters and Sounds (or bespoke) This is a popular feature which would be an asset to Sonar. There are also Phonics Termly Targets available under Targets section to run alongside. Test Scores cannot be used for this purpose as they stages within Phonics Phase are usually a number followed by a letter eg. 2A, 2B, 2C et...

  14. Customers have suggested it would be helpful to be able to copy targets from one term to the next.
    If these are entered into the wrong term, currently a school has to manually do them all over again.

  15. SONAR Age band expectations are currently:
    Pre Entry 0-11 months
    Entry 1 8-20 months
    Entry 2 16-26 months
    Nurs 1 22-36 months
    Nurs 2 30-50 months

    Early Years Leads within our schools think they should be:
    Pre Entry 8-20 months
    Entry 1 16-26 months
    Entry 2 22-36 months
    Nurs 1 30-50 months
    Nurs 2 40-60 months
    Reception ELG

    Would welcome any feedback or others opinions. Thanks

  16. Please consider extending the available Year Groups on the Summative and Formative Data Entry screens and reports for use by All-Through and Special schools allowing them to use the system for all their year groups. This would be from Reception to Y14.

  17. It would be very helpful to have the date the children started the school added to contextual information,. We have high levels of mobility and so it would be very useful to filter and see which children, in a class or year group, joined. We used to use this on Target Tracker all the time.

  19. When you have flood filled, particularly formative data, if you have made a mistake it would be useful to be able to 'undo' this and put the assessment back to how it was.

  20. It would be good to have this as an option during the data entry process for a nursery cohort, it will help to inform judgements in a more straightforward way than the pre-existing options in my opinion. It would also be really good to have this option as a link in observations, so when exported it can be evidenced children are working securely within an age range.
