Preferences - custom groups
Ability to set a custom group as a preference in Sonar.
It's quite common that SLT staff who don't have a class of their own in school will be responsible for teaching one group each day e.g. a Y6 Maths group
It would be helpful if they could choose to set a group as a preference in Sonar, not just a year group or class.

Merge Just At and Securely At
It is often necessary to report (eg to governors) the numbers of children who are At ARE. Schools like to keep this simple, and in TT could merge the 'risk' and 'at' columns to do help with this.
This is already available in Sonar Multi School and would be very useful in Sonar.1 vote -
Revising SEND types on Sonar
For schools in Wales, the term 'Statement' is still used on their MIS for the term EHCP (used in England). This is changing from September.
However, the term 'BESD' in the type of need dropdown to categorise Behaviour, Emotional and Social Difficulties hasn't been used for a number of years. Schools usually code this now as SEMH and with Mental Health being such a big issue the schools we train are surprised that we don't have it.

No SEN filter
The 'No Special Educational Need' filter doesn't bring up all children who are not SEN support or have an EHCP. It seems that your MIS has to have an 'N' indicator if they do not have SEN but our MIS is just blank for anyone not identified as SEN.
1 voteIt is possible to select NA in the SEN filter section. It is best practice to select NA and N to ensure all non-SEN pupils are included. I have attached a screenshot to show you where the option is.

Downloading Test Scores via PDF
It would be useful to be able to download a printable version of the actual test score input via PDF (Whole class, cohort and invidual). This would support data tracking in order to be able to quickly compare previous scores.
1 voteUsing the Subject Overview and selecting Test Scores against ARE in the filter, you are able to view your test scores for that subject, choosing which terms you want to view. There is also the option to export this to a PDF. You can use the usual filters to choose class/group.
If this doesn't address your idea, please let us know.

Termly Phonics Phase Tracking
This 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
1 voteIf schools wish to assess Phonics, then a new subject can be added as 'Phonics' and test scores can be entered this way.

A function to search individual pupils
this is vital for class teachers, SLT, SENCO, safeguarding lead.
1 voteAs the Single Pupil Overview report currently allows users to search for pupils and view their data over a number of terms (with the option to select different terms and subjects) it isn't a priority to develop this functionality elsewhere in Sonar Tracker at the moment.
If this report doesn't suit your requirements for the idea you suggested, please let us know.

The report only shows attainment vs the previous half term
1 voteThe Age Related Progress Reports allow you to select previous terms and deselect your current term if you haven't added any assessments yet. You can then view the % of pupils (and the pupils) On Track and Higher.
If this doesn't display your reporting needs, please let us know.
