  1. In the primary age related overview report. It will only allow contextual information in summary view to be sorted by class and not year group when viewing whole school. Small schools having mixed aged classes need to access year group options.

  2. In Target Reports, you cannot filter by Target given or Assessment given, or even by progress measure. This would be so helpful, to filter out just the -1 progress or Bs, for example.

  3. Change the format of data entry for Salford Reading Age so that the age in months is inputted the same way as age in years. To input the months you simply select the required number, but to select the year you choose from a scrolling choice of numbers. This scrolls past where you need it to then you need to click manually through each individual number to get back to where you need to be. It is overly time consuming and frustrating.

  4. 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…

  5. It would be helpful to have report PDFs in portrait and not just landscape. This could make the length of reports shorter and easier to read.

  6. The above report has been pulling incorrect info through since December. Schools will be using this report based on incorrect data. We are a Trust with 5 schools, getting numerous queries and complaints. We also spent time running reports (90 in total)) for all our schools as we were not informed incorrect data. This should be communicated to all schools who may be basing pupil progress meetings on incorrect reports.

  8. Would be great if the subject overview would show end of previous year (Summer) in the % summary at the bottom. It shows term on term which is really useful but this time of year you need to see summer comparison. It lets you display summer at pupil level but does not show summer % at bottom.

  9. It would be useful to run an EYFS formative report that just shows 4-5 data and not 4-5 plus ELG data. For example, when I look at PSED data, it shows me it for 22 objectives which would be 4-5 plus ELG whereas I just want to look at the 13 PSED objectives in 4-5 range.

  10. It would be helpful to have average attendance for children of statutory school age and have the option to take Nursery out of the figures as many are part time and this impacts on the overall figure.

  11. On Target Tracker, you could generate a 'class context' sheet which held the information for each pupil in columns: forename, surname, DoB, date of entry, gender, EAL status, FSM status, SEN status...

    It would be brilliant to be able to generate this same sheet from within Sonar, and to export it as a PDF, Word or Excel file.

  12. It would be really helpful to have a report that would show overall summative data (%ARE+) for each year group all on 1 page (one for each subject).

    The columns would be:
    end of phase (FS or KS1), previous summer, aut, spr sum, target

    The rows would be:
    Y1, Y2, Y3, Y4, Y5, Y6

    Even better if this could be further subdivided into classe:
    Class A Y1, Class AY2, Class B Y1, Class B Y2 etc..

  14. A way to share with Governors R/W/M attainment of all year groups, for boys. girls, PP, SEN etc in a concise report.

    Currently this means creating the ARO Report for a year group with the summary and export to pdf = 3 pages. Filter for another year group and export = 3 pages. This results in an 18 page report with EYFS still to do. It would also be helpful if we could choose which groups to include in the summary and be able to separate year groups once viewing the summary version of the report. Being able to create…

  15. On target tracker my staff would do whole class observations and annotate accordingly to save time. We need to be able to upload more than 5 photos per observation. It needs to be at least 30 pics

  16. Lefthand menu to be able to collapse to the side or when zoom in page to shrink to just the icons as before. This will give users more space on the main screen to do assessments and reports, especially when looking at the analysis tab the working space becomes quite narrow and you have to scroll across a fair bit to see the columns. Thanks

  17. Currently the character limit for an objective to be able to pull through to parent reports is 140. If the objective is above this limit then that objective will not appear on reports. Please can the character limit be increased so that there are more objectives that can be included in reports, not just the shorter ones.

  18. When Target Tracker launched, you made a very easy to read overview PDF of all the objectives for each core subject for each year group. This was great to display in class and see all objectives at once.

  19. Can we relabel 'Primary Formative' and 'Primary Summative' in recognition of the non-primary settings we have in Sonar? A number of schools have mentioned this to me, eg Marland Residential School, who are using KS3 in Sonar and the staff are finding it confusing.

  20. The new analysis tab is great. When you hit print screen it actually prints really well, however for a Trust who may want to print the screen for each school there is no name or log on it so have to physically write on. I know this only a small cosmetic thing but would be really useful.
