  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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…

  7. It would save a huge amount of time if targets for the end of Summer 2 could be automatically bulk filled based on the children's end of previous summer 2 assessments, making an assumption of expected progress. This would mean only tweaking those few children who are expected to make slower or accelerated progress, rather than having to enter each one manually.

    Schools can now filter by ethnicity on the following new reports in Sonar:


    • EYFS/Primary Characteristic Attainment Overview
    • EYFS Good Level of Development Tracking
    • Primary Pupil Progress Meeting
    • Primary Flight Path
    • Primary Triangulation of Data Analysis


    Going forward, all original reports in Sonar will eventually be replaced with this new filter format to include ethnicity.


  9. Is there was a way to add the = or - numbers that you see on the target analysis report to the summative progress analysis report?

    This would at least show a numerical indicator of progress which would help steps/linear schools?

    So a child working below ARE for Year 4 - they would have +2 as gone from 3JA to 3Above. Better than just saying 'expected progress' when in fact she has improved.

    I guess one big issue would be the code model the school has (number of codes within ARE)

  10. Schools would like to be able to select the Terms they wish to assess and only see those in the summative Assessment/Scores and in reports Eg. Autumn End, Spring End, Summer End

    This is exactly the type of flexibility that is currently being discussed as part of the Sonar School Configuration Page concept. It is in its infancy in terms of planning and it can't be tied to a particular period of time for release, however it is under review.

  11. Include SEN as a contextual tag nest to children's names as PP, EAL and FSM already are.

  12. 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.

  13. 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.

  14. 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.

  15. 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.

  16. We must be able to see percentage of children targeted for 'at' in each class/year group. we expect teachers to set % targets so how can we monitor this?

  17. In OTrack when selecting the School Icon users can then drill down to see names in each of the Contextual Groups in the Pupils Box ie Pupil Premium. Users would like this facility in Sonar.
