  1. 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...

  2. This would allow you to select a specific pupil and see all the observations they have been tagged with in a print-friendly view that would be suitable for a range of audiences.

  5. 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.

  6. 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

  8. 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.

  9. 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.

  10. 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…

  11. 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.

  13. Could a filter/toggle be added to the Statutory dashboard to enable us to look at previous years outcomes, and potentially view data from previous years alongside this years etc- to enable us to see (hopefully) progression in outcomes over time.

  14. 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.

  15. It would be helpful if the main admin of the school could add/edit their own school tests to 'other curriculum subjects'. This would allow schools to add, remove and reorder as required without having to email.

  17. It would be very helpful to have the date the children started the school added to contextual information,. We have high levels of mobility and so it would be very useful to filter and see which children, in a class or year group, joined. We used to use this on Target Tracker all the time.
