  1. As a numerical measures test scores should be able to be sorted in numerical order - currently the only options are by pupil name/year group, not helpful for any form of analysis/overall picture.

  2. When a school has alot of mobility they need an easy way to exclude particular children from a report. Sometimes using entry date works well but for children that leave and come back, this is not useful as the original admission date is recorded in Sonar, rather than the restored date.
    In OTRack and TT there is an easy quick way to filter a report and exclude 3/4 pupils (and swap selection is useful here too).

  4. Currently the character limit for an objective to be able to pull through to parent reports is 140. If the objective is above this limit then that objective will not appear on reports. Please can the character limit be increased so that there are more objectives that can be included in reports, not just the shorter ones.

  5. To be able to historical enter summative Teacher Assessments and Test Scores. Currently can only add for current and previous academic year. Sometimes useful to add earlier data eg if no KS data or data not transferred in migration.

  8. Schools are able to have their own formative curriculum added to Primary or EYFS in a wide range of subjects. This flexibility allows (eg) a separate SEN curriculum to be added.
    In Primary, these subjects can be given a Summative judgement too but this isn't possible in EYFS as subjects can only be the 7 or 17 subjects in Development Matters. As the vast majority of reports are based on Summative judgements, this is unhelpful for EYFS.

  9. To be able to filter pupils based on prior statutory attainment. For example to be able to filter by which children achieved GLD, passed the Phonics check etc.
    It is useful for schools to be able to track these key groups through the school.
    This can only be done currently by making a pupil group which is static and time-consuming to create and manage.

  11. Even though KS1 SATs are no longer mandatory many schools are choosing to enter the data into Sonar and then asking for the facility to export them out to their management systems. A CTF export would be useful.

  14. It would be really helpful to have a report that would show overall summative data (%ARE+) for each year group all on 1 page (one for each subject).

    The columns would be:
    end of phase (FS or KS1), previous summer, aut, spr sum, target

    The rows would be:
    Y1, Y2, Y3, Y4, Y5, Y6

    Even better if this could be further subdivided into classe:
    Class A Y1, Class AY2, Class B Y1, Class B Y2 etc..

  16. Create a report template that will print off all statements that have been achieved in each subject

    Or possibly a report template that showed a few achieved objective from each strand and one target

  18. At the moment, we are tracking book bands by putting them in as test scores in Reading. Is it possible that a specific book band tracker is put in. We only update them half-termly overall.

  20. In Target Tracker, schools can export Infant School pupil data and import this into the Junior so that there Formative and Summative assessment history can be seen in the Juniors.
