  1. This option on Target Tracker was invaluable for subject leaders and showed gaps in learning, thus identifying areas to be addressed

  2. Teachers need to be able to see previous data to be able to set new targets. This is not viewable on the target input screen. This is vital.

  3. Display Options should include 'names' so that all pupil names can be added to the report for downloading/printing. At the moment, it's only possible to see pupil names by clicking on each individual cell

  5. To customise summative reports so they can be broken it down into the smaller steps e.g w and w+ rather than banded together as At

  6. Be able to enter ARE for tests for bands 8 and 9. Can currently enter range but no ARE. Entering ARE would enable analysis of these year groups.

  7. Import photos to Sonar from iSAMS so that you can check which pupil is which if you have multiple pupils with the same name.

  8. The current Subject Overview Report lets you see 'previous summer' and any reporting periods in the current years but doesn't allow you to compare e.g. Autumn to Autumn over multiple years - this is pretty essential for test progress tracking of individuals

  9. The summative assessments page should have a way to download to Excel. Currently - to be able to export any information about children you either need to do it one child at a time throught he single pupil overview (although often the PDF function doesnt work properly and shows 'data loading' on the download), or you have to manually type information from the SONAR tracker web page into another document. This feels like a waste of time and resources.

    Downloading to excel or integrating with Google docs is important to stop teachers and leaders wasting their time.

  10. When looking through assessments, indicate that there are observations logged against that objective.
    Similar to how you hover over the clock to show previous assessments perhaps?
    When checking for completeness of evidence for a section of learning, the ability to see this and quickly upload a new observation from this page would be a fantastic time saver.

  11. Add the groups CIN (Children In Need) and LAC (Looked after) to the Primary Age Related Overview tables and the Primary Summative Analysis tables, so data analysis mirrors the new OFSTED framework & IDSR.

  12. EYFS Age Related Overview Report - Ability to see % on track for all aspects in each Area
    Currently by choosing all aspects in Communications Language;
    Listening, Attention and Understanding along with Speaking and selecting combined, we can see the % of pupils on track in all aspects within the Area.
    As EYFS leads often wish to report the % on track in each Area it would be great if this report (or one similar to the GLD report - with all aspects in) showed this either as an extra row / column or had the option to view.
    is…

  14. Currently this just says 'Group' so teachers have to add this to the report, remembering what group was filtered for. Would be more useful if names of group was referenced.

  16. We have some children working on the Sandwell skills ladders, which come before the National Curriculum objectives. Previously, these were displayed as P Levels and helped track the children's progress. At the moment, there is just the Engagement model, which could be broken down further to be like the skills ladders EM Building concepts, EM Level 1, EM Level 2 and EM Level 3.
    I would really appreciate it if we could have these options please, because oherwise we would have no way to record this. Thankyou so much!!

  17. This is a feature request for users with swap school access to be able to select their default school eg. if they have access to an Infant and a Junior school their default login could be for the Junior. It could work like the preference settings of year group and class that they can do on an individual school.

    Schools can now filter by ethnicity on the following new reports in Sonar:


    • EYFS/Primary Characteristic Attainment Overview
    • EYFS Good Level of Development Tracking
    • Primary Pupil Progress Meeting
    • Primary Flight Path
    • Primary Triangulation of Data Analysis


    Going forward, all original reports in Sonar will eventually be replaced with this new filter format to include ethnicity.


  20. This was the main report that I used - it is no longer available so I am considering looking for an alternative tracking system.
