  1. 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.

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

  3. 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.

  4. 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…

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. 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.

  10. 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.

  11. 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

  12. 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…

  13. When looking through assessments, indicate that there are observations logged against that objective.
    Similar to how you hover over the clock to show previous assessments perhaps?
    When checking for completeness of evidence for a section of learning, the ability to see this and quickly upload a new observation from this page would be a fantastic time saver.

  14. Add the groups CIN (Children In Need) and LAC (Looked after) to the Primary Age Related Overview tables and the Primary Summative Analysis tables, so data analysis mirrors the new OFSTED framework & IDSR.

  15. EYFS Age Related Overview Report - Ability to see % on track for all aspects in each Area
    Currently by choosing all aspects in Communications Language;
    Listening, Attention and Understanding along with Speaking and selecting combined, we can see the % of pupils on track in all aspects within the Area.
    As EYFS leads often wish to report the % on track in each Area it would be great if this report (or one similar to the GLD report - with all aspects in) showed this either as an extra row / column or had the option to view.
    is…

  16. 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.

  17. It would be useful to see a child's attendance record for their time in primary school as it was in Target Tracker. That is, each child in their year/class group with a percentage figure for each year. We could then filter below 90%.
    It would also be useful to be able to filter attendance by ethnicity and other groups. In Sonar, you can't see the names of who is in the SEN/EAL/disadvantaged group.

  18. It would be really useful to be able to see all aspects on the good level of development report instead of those only related to GLD The same features was available on on OTrack that allowed you to click and add all aspects.

  20. Currently this just says 'Group' so teachers have to add this to the report, remembering what group was filtered for. Would be more useful if names of group was referenced.
