  1. When school creates their own Group they would like to be able to run a report and not only filter for the group as they can currently but to exclude that group from the rest of the children. This can be done in OTrack

  2. Schools can set multiple different thresholds for their test scores, so it can correlate more closely with their summative model. For example, if their summative model has 4 or 5 levels it would be good that the test scores and associated report in ARO also splits the test score data into 4 or 5 respectively. At the moment the test scores is just Below, At or Above. e.g. in a test with range 80-120, schools might state that 80-90 is below, 90-103 is just at, 103-109 securely at and 110+ is above.

  4. Ability to set a custom group as a preference in Sonar.

    It's quite common that SLT staff who don't have a class of their own in school will be responsible for teaching one group each day e.g. a Y6 Maths group

    It would be helpful if they could choose to set a group as a preference in Sonar, not just a year group or class.

  6. It is often necessary to report (eg to governors) the numbers of children who are At ARE. Schools like to keep this simple, and in TT could merge the 'risk' and 'at' columns to do help with this.
    This is already available in Sonar Multi School and would be very useful in Sonar.

  8. The Statutory Data box on the Single Pupil Overview report shows a pupil's phonics score in a green box if they passed. This is the same even if the pupil did the retake in Y2 which can be a little misleading to the overall picture for that pupil. Please could something be altered here (e.g. a different colour, a little number 2 added) so that schools know whether the score they are seeing is from Y1 or Y2.

  9. In Target Tracker, it was an option to edit wha tyou want to see in the summary view. At the minute there is a lot of informaiton and it would be good to select which to get rid of (For example, we dont need to see any of the 'NOT' categories.

    Also the Sig below and Sig Above columns are empty - so it would be good to get rid of those.

  10. We're a school moving from INSIGHT. One of the things that we find invaluable on INSIGHT is the assessment view of a child, where you can see all the summative assessments of subjects as well as test scores and the % secured to date of formative objectives for each year on one page. It would be great to get this in SONAR as it is a great, easy to glance at history of assessment of pupils throughout the year.

  11. As this is a point in time tracker, it would be good if judgements carried over to the beginning of the year from the end of the previous year. An expected child remains expected so the code could carry over. I now have all year groups below expectations and teachers would have to re-enter data. This work load could be reduced by bringing grades over as a baseline.

  12. The new analysis tab is great. When you hit print screen it actually prints really well, however for a Trust who may want to print the screen for each school there is no name or log on it so have to physically write on. I know this only a small cosmetic thing but would be really useful.

  13. 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.

  14. It would be helpful if the main admin of the school could add/edit their own school tests to 'other curriculum subjects'. This would allow schools to add, remove and reorder as required without having to email.

  15. As a senior leader I would like a report that tells me which staff have yet to complete their assessments for the term. This would need to take into account pre-filled Effective Assessment entries.

  16. Link to school improvement programme Pixl for MATs using it for assessments from Year 1.
    For those having used it for years they are able to adjust all their boundaries tracking the progress of a student over many years every autumn, spring and summer.

  17. Being able to edit the address directly would save time. Also having the option to resend the invitation email rather than asking the user to go through the 'forgot password' route.

  18. Display Options should include 'names' so that all pupil names can be added to the report for downloading/printing. At the moment, it's only possible to see pupil names by clicking on each individual cell

  20. Options to 1) select R, W, M together 2) separate year groups - as you can in OTrack's 'In Year Attainment Overview'.

    Feedback from school migration meeting - 'why is there no display options button on the Subject Overview? I like to choose the Core subjects and then split into six year groups - this is all in one report -'In Year Attainment'- in OTrack. To do this is Sonar, I would currently have to generate 18 reports! This essential for a small school like ours. The Age Related Overview does not show the 'flight path' of the last 7…
