Highlight pupil names in reports
The ability to highlight pupils' names to identify them as (for example) PP, EAL, SEN etc.
This provides a quick and clear way to show how these key groups are distributed across attainment and progress tables. It is particularly effective when used without names for governors' reports.
We have this function in Target Tracker where names can be in bold, underlined or in italics.15 votes -

Edit Summary View
In Target Tracker, it was an option to edit wha tyou want to see in the summary view. At the minute there is a lot of informaiton and it would be good to select which to get rid of (For example, we dont need to see any of the 'NOT' categories.
Also the Sig below and Sig Above columns are empty - so it would be good to get rid of those.

Alphabetical surnames Reports
Ability to sort by surname not forename in reports. I am so surprised this functionality is not already there. In order of forename is simply not practical in year groups with 90 children. There is not even the workaround to export to excel as it is PDF only.

Prior attainment filter
To be able to filter pupils based on prior statutory attainment. For example to be able to filter by which children achieved GLD, passed the Phonics check etc.
It is useful for schools to be able to track these key groups through the school.
This can only be done currently by making a pupil group which is static and time-consuming to create and manage.13 votesMoved to Under Review.

Test Score ARE settings
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.

Make is easier to exclude children from reports
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).12 votesMoved to Under Review.

Ability to include or exclude teacher, headteacher and pupil comments from the parent report template
At the moment the Teacher Comments, Headteacher Comments and Pupil Comments sections are included in the report template by default, even if you choose the basic grid version of the template. It would be helpful to have the option to include or exclude these sections when setting up the report template.

Statutory Analysis
End of Key Stage reports allow schools to see overall numbers and percentages, pupils' names and to view in Summary mode. There is no equivalent report for Phonics or MTC which schools need.
Although the Analysis tab gives headline data, no detail such as pupils names or context can be seen.11 votesThank you for your feedback. This overview of Year 1 Phonics Screening Check and MTC is now under review.

Pupil Assessment History View
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.

Being able to edit the address directly would save time. Also having the option to resend the invitation email rather than asking the user to go through the 'forgot password' route.

Termly Phonics Phase Tracking
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...

EYFS Report Improvements
To be able to print the summative report so that all the areas of learning are along the top columns and the children's names are down the first column. This would allow practitioners to track pupils' GLD more easily.

Give an indication of whether a CTF uploaded is successful or not
Schools often leave the import process not knowing whether this was successful and have no indication that it wasn't, leaving them to call us later frustrated as they feel they have already imported it and weren't made aware of an issue.
9 votesWe are currently planning improvements to the Upload feature for our next development cycle.
