CTF Export
Had schools where new children have joined them. They have no UPN. They do not need to report data but because no UPN file not created. Can we look at how to mitigate against this situation? Eg manually update children? Remove children from CTF? Make CTF without children with no UPN?

Order Summative Assessment by attainment
When entering summative assessment data, currently you can only order by names or yeargroups.
It is incredibly useful to order the children by their attainment (a bit like ordering the class based on their steps in the old TT).
This is particularly useful for a class/year group with a high level of attainment variance, especially for a subject like writing when we might be moderating and assessing across a year group.
It allows you to look at children of a similar level of attainement together as you are assessing far more easily, and this is particularly powerful when we are…
6 votesThank you for your feedback. Sorting summative entry columns per subject by attainment is now being implemented into the planning of our summative entry screen re-build. This is scheduled for release in January.

Extended Year Groups
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.

Switch Schools function
Since the recent update of Sonar, the Switch Schools function is less easy to use. Although users can click on their profile and scroll through the list of schools that they have access to, this is not easy and there is no way to search as there used to be. For large MATs this is a problem - could we have it back please?

More filter options for Statutory Dashboard Report
We need a way to filter this report to see data for particular classes at a time, as you can with other reports. Schools with a combination of Mainstream and SEND pupils need this for reporting purposes.

Attainment and Progress Summary Report
Former OTrack customers often ask for a Sonar version of the Attainment and Progress Summary which had 3 subjects and a combined column on one page. This report is a Termly context Group report and for each subject it shows the attainment percentages for Below, At & Above next to the Termly Target (progress) %'s Below, At, Above. The Termly Targets can be changed to Progress from Previous Summer for those who don't use Targets. It is often used for progress meetings and governors.

Add school logo to Parent Reports
To be able to upload a school logo to be included in each individual report so that I don't have to add this to each report manually or create a cover page.

Ability to export reports to Word and Excel as well as a PDF
It will be useful for teachers to print out reports in a readable format not over many many pages. Could be used for Pupil progress meetings. Classroom monitor had the function to export to excel.

copying targets to next term
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.5 votes -
Termly Phonics Phase Tracking
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...

Progress for out of year group assessments (Sig Below)
Ability to track progress of pupils assessed outside of their year group (sig below). For example, if a Y5 pupil is assessed as 3At > 3B this should be interpreted as them having made less than the expected progress. Currently, all progress reports would consider these children as having made expected progress and schools want to be able to track small progress steps of these pupils better.

Cumulative progress to show total making expected or accelerated progress
It would be useful to be able to have an overall figure for the number of children making expected progress or accelerated progress - as a cumulative function.
Currently, the Summative Progress Analysis provides the figures but these need to be added up to calculate cumulative.
The Conversion Matrix has cumulative but only for each starting point, it doesn't show in the KPIs, so again needs manually adding up.1 vote -
subject overview report
Would it be possible to add the display options button when using the subject overview report so that we have cumulative data? Thanks

Allow Test Score Thresholds to be amended within the test scores report itself.
At present it is only possible to explore data within the test report in any detail by amending the threshold scores in the whole school setting sections. The test scores report in the original Target Tracker was far more flexible as it allowed you to set thresholds for below, above etc within the report itself - much quicker and much more flexible.

Statutory Analysis
End of Key Stage reports allow schools to see overall numbers and percentages, pupils' names and to view in Summary mode. There is no equivalent report for Phonics or MTC which schools need.
Although the Analysis tab gives headline data, no detail such as pupils names or context can be seen.11 votesThank you for your feedback. This overview of Year 1 Phonics Screening Check and MTC is now under review.

Import test scores
Where schools have test data, such as GL scores, this would be time consuming to add manually to Sonar. It would be far more usable if we could import this from another format such as a spreadsheet.

We are considering this idea and will be reviewing again to see if more votes are added.

A Context Overview for Classes
On Target Tracker, you could generate a 'class context' sheet which held the information for each pupil in columns: forename, surname, DoB, date of entry, gender, EAL status, FSM status, SEN status...
It would be brilliant to be able to generate this same sheet from within Sonar, and to export it as a PDF, Word or Excel file.

Monthly Formative Reporting
School's would like to track the inputting of data for formative assessment on a Monthly rather than Termly basis. It is interesting for SLT to be able to track when children are achieving objectives and sometimes this can change multiple times over a half term.

Subject Overview Report - Contextual tags
Include SEN as a contextual tag nest to children's names as PP, EAL and FSM already are.
