  1. The report includes those that are WT (yellows) as at ARE. This is extremely confusing for schools viewing the report. I understand that fits with the rest of the system and reports (we also have issues throughout the system with this) but some areas you can toggle to see further breakdown or not include them. I find this report misleading.

  4. I would love to be able to print off the formative assessment for 1 child. The statements are really helpful when children move between schools or at parent meetings when I need to share explicitly with parents.

  5. When you are adding an objective it currently shows the list of objectives to tag from Pre Entry onwards. Would be so much quicker to either filter by pupil's year group or have manual filter for year, so you don't have to scroll right down to find the Reception ones.

  6. Schools would like to be able to run a report such as the Primary Characteristic Attainment Overview and be able to add their own bespoke Groups to the report to view them alongside the existing groups. For example if school made a 'Home Grown' Group they would like to view it alongside Boys, Girls, DIS, SEN etc..Please note this is NOT the same as filtering for the bespoke group.

  8. The current Subject Overview Report lets you see 'previous summer' and any reporting periods in the current years but doesn't allow you to compare e.g. Autumn to Autumn over multiple years - this is pretty essential for test progress tracking of individuals

  9. The summative assessments page should have a way to download to Excel. Currently - to be able to export any information about children you either need to do it one child at a time throught he single pupil overview (although often the PDF function doesnt work properly and shows 'data loading' on the download), or you have to manually type information from the SONAR tracker web page into another document. This feels like a waste of time and resources.

    Downloading to excel or integrating with Google docs is important to stop teachers and leaders wasting their time.

  10. When choosing to print a subject's observations, it would be helpful if it showed the pupil's name tagged to each observation.

  11. Sometimes, having SONAR open isn't practical in class. Our staff would like a PDF version of the objectives so that they can see them on paper and add notes to aid their observations and thoughts - this will allow them to use the statements more practically and make things speedier moving forwards.

  12. Eg Schools often want to see what ELG data was for a cohort once they are in a higher year group. Currently this involves having to manually make a group that includes leavers (but only those who were here at the time) and excludes pupils who have joined since (even though some of these may have results that have been imported since).
    The Statutory Dashboard will include pupils with data so works for leavers but not necessarily joiners and does not tell us who is included or the % who achieved Expected for each Aspect, the Outcomes report does this…

  13. I would like the option to filter by tagged objectives and be able to look exclusively at the Early Learning Goals. It is a right rigamarole in having to look up every observation to see if an early learning goal has been met, by who, when ect and then have to try and keep track of this.

  14. Currently clicking pupil names in a report goes to a report for that child, which is great. However it isnt possible to go back to the report you were on previously.

    This means that currently you have to restart the report every time you click a child's name.

    If clicking the child name opened up a personal report for them in a new tab, this would save a lot of time and effort.

  15. 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.

  18. Currently pupils who are 'outside of the diagram' ie below the judgement chosen in all three subjects currently show as blank. If at least one of the subjects is at or above the judgement chosen, all assessments show, even if below year group. It would be really helpful if assessments showed for all children as without this for consistency. Their data has to be found somewhere else and there is not currently a suitable R/W/M printable view of this.

  19. The Pupil Flight Path in OTrack could be used to see/export data for a single child showing the assessments for their whole time in school on one report. It was useful to SENCO's and as a Parents Evening Report. It had the subject options of either Reading, Writing & Maths, Core Subjects, Foundation Subjects, Other Curriculum Subjects or All Subjects

  20. A mobile interface to upload observations would be really beneficial.
    (I'm in SEND School, all staff have a mobile device to capture evidence during the day).

    Hello,


    Thank you for taking the time to feedback here.


    As part of the Awards & Activities module (currently free as part of your Parent Engagement bundle), you are able to upload more informal observations using the Juniper Education app. As part of this module, those observations can be tagged to a subject if you wish them to be and photos/comments are then sent to parents. Parents can view these observations in the app. The Awards & Activities module leans more towards observing key skills, behaviours and celebrating efforts and success.


    Specifically from Sonar, you can currently use an ipad to make more academic observations by tagging the learning objectives and sending these home to the app for parents.


    We do have some upcoming product demonstrations for the Observations module (Sonar) and Awards & Activities. The first one today is 3:45pm - 4:30pm if you wish to come along to…
