  1. 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.

  2. 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...

  3. 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.

  4. We need to be able to upload videos as well as photos - they are more useful in most cases

  5. Lefthand menu to be able to collapse to the side or when zoom in page to shrink to just the icons as before. This will give users more space on the main screen to do assessments and reports, especially when looking at the analysis tab the working space becomes quite narrow and you have to scroll across a fair bit to see the columns. Thanks

  6. 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.

  7. It would be really good if we could filter the statements by TAF or ability level (WTS/EXS/GDS).

  8. To be able to choose what to regard as 'At'. Schools that use our default code model where Just At and At are treated as At in this report would find it useful to be able to show securely at and above only, either as a comparison or instead of including Just At.

    The Venn Report allows the metric to be changed so something similar here would be useful.

  9. Schools who have additional columns such as SATS Maths Paper 1 and Paper 2 would like to have a Total column which works out the total automatically (total column can be currently added but they have to manually work out the total at the moment)/

  10. We've lost the Individual Assessment Summary report feature from TT that we use for interim reports. The current parent report is not appropriate for us to use as you can't edit the title in the formatting stage, can't add the school logo and the objectives statements are not pulled through. Teachers will have to manually input information this year which is frustrating. Can a similar Individual Assessment Summary report be made available?

  11. At the moment you can tag areas of the EYFS curriculum but it would be really helpful if you could also tag what COEL the children are developing in their observation too.

  12. Current templates have too much information for an interim report. An adaptable template which includes; an overview of attendance, attainment, progress and does not have teacher comments would be great and save a lot of time.

    We would also like to be able to name the document and add our school logo. This would have a huge impact on teacher workload.

  13. Schools using the Ages Assessment feature would benefit from their Ages data being available within the Single Pupil Overview report as is Summative and Test Scores data. Or the creation of a new Ages Flight Path report where they can see the Ages data over time.

  14. 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.

  16. Would be useful to be able to see attendance per term on the pupil overview, rather than to date. Schools report on attendance to parents and governors per term.

  17. I would like the reports feature to be easier to use and easier to adapt and create our own reports. I have used insight previously which was so easy to create my own tables, charts and reports for any groups etc. I would love this feature to be easier to use on Sonar. I also would like to click on a pupil can see their most recent data as well as all the contextual information - I know you can do a single pupil report but in the pupils area it would be great if when you filtered it you…

  18. Teachers need to be able to see previous data to be able to set new targets. This is not viewable on the target input screen. This is vital.

  20. When Target Tracker launched, you made a very easy to read overview PDF of all the objectives for each core subject for each year group. This was great to display in class and see all objectives at once.
