  1. 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

  2. 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.

  3. 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...

  4. 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.

  7. 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.

  9. The effective assessment function is great for saving workload but does not give school leaders an indication that a teachers' assessment has been completed.
    A option to confirm all judgements are finalised for the term (similar perhaps to the TT PITA function) or even just a tick box to say it is done could be a really useful tool to save leaders time checking with staff.

  10. Create a report template that will print off all statements that have been achieved in each subject

    Or possibly a report template that showed a few achieved objective from each strand and one target

  11. There needs to be the facility to add baseline data for Reception and nursery children at the start of the year. We assess whether they are ready for the curriulum that yr group delivers so use the codes from the year before. There is no facility to change expectations for colour coding at the start of the year so all these children show up red even though some of them would be ready to start Preschool or Reception. Otrack had this function but Sonartracker doesn't.

  12. 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.

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

  14. 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.

  15. Even though KS1 SATs are no longer mandatory many schools are choosing to enter the data into Sonar and then asking for the facility to export them out to their management systems. A CTF export would be useful.

  17. When entering summative assessment data, currently you can only order by names or yeargroups.

    It is incredibly useful to order the children by their attainment (a bit like ordering the class based on their steps in the old TT).

    This is particularly useful for a class/year group with a high level of attainment variance, especially for a subject like writing when we might be moderating and assessing across a year group.

    It allows you to look at children of a similar level of attainement together as you are assessing far more easily, and this is particularly powerful when we are…

  19. Options to 1) select R, W, M together 2) separate year groups - as you can in OTrack's 'In Year Attainment Overview'.

    Feedback from school migration meeting - 'why is there no display options button on the Subject Overview? I like to choose the Core subjects and then split into six year groups - this is all in one report -'In Year Attainment'- in OTrack. To do this is Sonar, I would currently have to generate 18 reports! This essential for a small school like ours. The Age Related Overview does not show the 'flight path' of the last 7…

  20. When school creates their own Group they would like to be able to run a report and not only filter for the group as they can currently but to exclude that group from the rest of the children. This can be done in OTrack
