  1. The ability to run the report for all 17 areas would be preferrable. This is to allow schools to see areas that need improvements.

    Thank you everyone for your feedback on the EYFS Good Level of Development Tracking report in Sonar.


    Extending the GLD Tracking report to all 17 ELGs is now under review.


    I am also pleased to say that all filter options are now consistent across the new report formats, including Birth Term.


    Thank you

  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. Schools can set multiple different thresholds for their test scores, so it can correlate more closely with their summative model. For example, if their summative model has 4 or 5 levels it would be good that the test scores and associated report in ARO also splits the test score data into 4 or 5 respectively. At the moment the test scores is just Below, At or Above. e.g. in a test with range 80-120, schools might state that 80-90 is below, 90-103 is just at, 103-109 securely at and 110+ is above.

  4. Ability to enter other test scores and results from other tests throughout the year - e.g. Rising Stars, NGRT, etc.
    Ability to enter book band colours
    Ability to enter assessment more frequently than half termly

  5. When a school has alot of mobility they need an easy way to exclude particular children from a report. Sometimes using entry date works well but for children that leave and come back, this is not useful as the original admission date is recorded in Sonar, rather than the restored date.
    In OTRack and TT there is an easy quick way to filter a report and exclude 3/4 pupils (and swap selection is useful here too).

  6. We're a school moving from INSIGHT. One of the things that we find invaluable on INSIGHT is the assessment view of a child, where you can see all the summative assessments of subjects as well as test scores and the % secured to date of formative objectives for each year on one page. It would be great to get this in SONAR as it is a great, easy to glance at history of assessment of pupils throughout the year.

  11. To ensure that time spent using Sonar is purposeful and useful, I want to be able to see how much time my staff are spending Sonar and what they are doing so that I can assess whether this is time well spent.

  14. 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

  15. Dissapointed to see that there was no way to see the parcentage of children target at the end of summer for different attainment levels. For instance, as we now set targets at the start of the year, I really could do with seeing what percentage of children have been targetted for B,JA,A etc at different cohort levels such as class, year group, key stage etc.

  16. School suggestion to have a table report that gives the current term attainment for all subjects.

    It would look similar to the data entry screen, but easier to see everything on one page - plus exportable if required

  17. What is it?

    The ability to view test outcomes when entering summative judgements for students. Potentially for summative judgements to be suggested from the test outcomes and then for teachers to be able to change this judgement where necessary

  18. We need the key reports in Sonar (ARO, Venn Diagram, etc) to allow you to choose test scores in any subject and summative for any other. The report would then display both on the same rpeort, and combined.

    Thank you very much for your feedback.


    I can confirm that this is currently under review with our engineering team and that the Primary Flight Path report will extend to all summative subjects.

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