  3. 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.

  5. Schools would like to be able to run a report such as the Primary Characteristic Attainment Overview and be able to add their own bespoke Groups to the report to view them alongside the existing groups. For example if school made a 'Home Grown' Group they would like to view it alongside Boys, Girls, DIS, SEN etc..Please note this is NOT the same as filtering for the bespoke group.

  6. Eg Schools often want to see what ELG data was for a cohort once they are in a higher year group. Currently this involves having to manually make a group that includes leavers (but only those who were here at the time) and excludes pupils who have joined since (even though some of these may have results that have been imported since).
    The Statutory Dashboard will include pupils with data so works for leavers but not necessarily joiners and does not tell us who is included or the % who achieved Expected for each Aspect, the Outcomes report does this…

  7. A mobile interface to upload observations would be really beneficial.
    (I'm in SEND School, all staff have a mobile device to capture evidence during the day).

    Hello,


    Thank you for taking the time to feedback here.


    As part of the Awards & Activities module (currently free as part of your Parent Engagement bundle), you are able to upload more informal observations using the Juniper Education app. As part of this module, those observations can be tagged to a subject if you wish them to be and photos/comments are then sent to parents. Parents can view these observations in the app. The Awards & Activities module leans more towards observing key skills, behaviours and celebrating efforts and success.


    Specifically from Sonar, you can currently use an ipad to make more academic observations by tagging the learning objectives and sending these home to the app for parents.


    We do have some upcoming product demonstrations for the Observations module (Sonar) and Awards & Activities. The first one today is 3:45pm - 4:30pm if you wish to come along to…

  8. 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.

  9. 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…

  11. 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.

  12. Schools would like to be able to re-order their Formative Subjects to improve usability and consistency for staff. A content Editor like the one OTrack had would be ideal to allow schools to manage their own Formative content.

  15. 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!!

  16. 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.


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

  20. SONAR Age band expectations are currently:
    Pre Entry 0-11 months
    Entry 1 8-20 months
    Entry 2 16-26 months
    Nurs 1 22-36 months
    Nurs 2 30-50 months

    Early Years Leads within our schools think they should be:
    Pre Entry 8-20 months
    Entry 1 16-26 months
    Entry 2 22-36 months
    Nurs 1 30-50 months
    Nurs 2 40-60 months
    Reception ELG

    Would welcome any feedback or others opinions. Thanks
