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

  2. I would like the reports feature to be easier to use and easier to adapt and create our own reports. I have used insight previously which was so easy to create my own tables, charts and reports for any groups etc. I would love this feature to be easier to use on Sonar. I also would like to click on a pupil can see their most recent data as well as all the contextual information - I know you can do a single pupil report but in the pupils area it would be great if when you filtered it you…

  3. 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.

  4. In OTrack when selecting the School Icon users can then drill down to see names in each of the Contextual Groups in the Pupils Box ie Pupil Premium. Users would like this facility in Sonar.

  5. 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.

  6. The academic year rollover is currently completed at the end of August, however some schools (particularly international) return earlier in August. Meaning their academic year starts before the rollover has happened. Would it be possible to complete future rollovers earlier in August.

  8. The report includes those that are WT (yellows) as at ARE. This is extremely confusing for schools viewing the report. I understand that fits with the rest of the system and reports (we also have issues throughout the system with this) but some areas you can toggle to see further breakdown or not include them. I find this report misleading.

  10. I would love to be able to print off the formative assessment for 1 child. The statements are really helpful when children move between schools or at parent meetings when I need to share explicitly with parents.

  11. When you are adding an objective it currently shows the list of objectives to tag from Pre Entry onwards. Would be so much quicker to either filter by pupil's year group or have manual filter for year, so you don't have to scroll right down to find the Reception ones.

  13. 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

  14. 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.

  15. When choosing to print a subject's observations, it would be helpful if it showed the pupil's name tagged to each observation.

  16. Sometimes, having SONAR open isn't practical in class. Our staff would like a PDF version of the objectives so that they can see them on paper and add notes to aid their observations and thoughts - this will allow them to use the statements more practically and make things speedier moving forwards.

  17. I would like the option to filter by tagged objectives and be able to look exclusively at the Early Learning Goals. It is a right rigamarole in having to look up every observation to see if an early learning goal has been met, by who, when ect and then have to try and keep track of this.

  18. Currently clicking pupil names in a report goes to a report for that child, which is great. However it isnt possible to go back to the report you were on previously.

    This means that currently you have to restart the report every time you click a child's name.

    If clicking the child name opened up a personal report for them in a new tab, this would save a lot of time and effort.

  20. Currently pupils who are 'outside of the diagram' ie below the judgement chosen in all three subjects currently show as blank. If at least one of the subjects is at or above the judgement chosen, all assessments show, even if below year group. It would be really helpful if assessments showed for all children as without this for consistency. Their data has to be found somewhere else and there is not currently a suitable R/W/M printable view of this.
