  1. 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.

  3. We would like Sonar to provide a set of whole-school formative assessment reports that enable leaders, subject leaders, governors, and inspectors to evaluate attainment, progress, and curriculum coverage across cohorts, year groups, and the whole school.

    The reports should replicate the functionality and strategic overview previously available in O'Track through reports such as Whole School Overview, Whole School Summary, and Depth of Knowledge.

    The overall aim is to provide a strategic, evidence-based view of formative assessment data that clearly demonstrates pupil attainment, progress, curriculum coverage, and depth of learning across the school.

    Essential Features:
    - Cohort, class, year group, and…

  5. The new Characteristic Attainment is great for showing the difference in attainment broken down into ethnicities.
    This only shows one subject however schools often need to see this for combined, as in the Age Related Overview report.
    Could Combined be added as a subject on the Characteristic Overview Report?
    Could we have a progress report showing a breakdown by ethnicity?

  6. The report would look like the otrack report that had a grid showing subject and end of summer attainment.
    The attendance would be present at the top.

  7. KS1 Summary data Screen. For the KS1 data summary screen it would be really useful just to have TAs on this screen. It is unclear what things are in there at the moment. Depending on what has been entered it can actually show a mixture of Scores and TAs? Fewer columns, clearer headings, just TAs would be great.

  9. When reporting to governors on EYFS data we often need to show % of children who have met ELG in key areas e.g. Literacy (3 aspects), Maths (2 aspects). We used to be able to do this in Target Tracker but is no longer available in SONAR

  10. A single, downloadable to Excel, report that enables you to view test scores against your summative teacher assessment using data stored in the Subject Overview report.

    The suggested workaround is very clunky https://help.junipereducation.org/hc/en-gb/articles/22265670881693-Sonar-Tracker-How-can-I-compare-test-scores-with-teacher-assessment

  11. Ethnicity should be an option in summary view so that different groups attainment and progress can be tracked.

    Some reports have the option to filter which is good, but this is different. I can also see it is in the characteristic attainment overview.

    If there was an option for ethnicity to be added into the summary view of many of the charts then all of the data for different groups would be in one place and could be easily compared to one another.

    Currently there is no way to look at progress data for ethnicity and to compare it.

  12. EAL/English proficiency is collected from Arbor and uploaded into Sonar,we would like to see the 4 classifications (Basic, Intermediate, Fluent, none) in Arbor so that we can track progress with reading/writing with changes in levels of English proficiency.

  13. Primary Summative Assessments have recently been updated. Previously, I was able to arrange the students alphabetically by their forename; however, following the new update, this is no longer an option. Adding this feature back really helps and saves time when entering the data.

  14. In Sonar Tracker, under Primary Formative, the choice of changing the options when the objectives are clicked. Something along the lines of met and not met, met being green and not met being red.

  15. It would be useful if the 'Flight Path' tracker could include test scores/scaled scores instead of just Above/at/below. This would mean data would be more precise, showing progress of those children, such as SEND, who make smaller jumps - such as moving between the pre key stage standards rather then the end of year expectation (we have assigned a scaled score/test score to each of these). It would allow us to track those vulnerable groups in more detail, showing they are making progress throughout their school journey.

  16. I want teachers and leaders to be able to toggle a formative view so that only KPI “statement groups” (a defined subset of curriculum objectives) are shown,
    so that teachers can assess the full curriculum while leaders can quickly see performance and coverage against just the agreed KPIs without rebuilding views each time.

    Admins can define one or more KPI/statement groups per subject (e.g. “Reading KPIs”) by selecting from the existing curriculum objectives, without needing Juniper to hard‑code them.

    In the formative grid, users can apply a simple filter/toggle (e.g. “Show: All objectives / KPI only”) that instantly hides non‑KPI…

  17. As a school or trust data lead, I want to be able to switch a cohort/report between a “point in time” assessment model and a linear/progress model, so that I can analyse either static judgements at each data drop or how pupils move over time along a defined trajectory.

  18. As a trust leader, I want a multi‑school analytics view that reliably shows key metrics by school, year group, gender and disadvantage, so that I can compare performance and identify support needs across the group.

    Charts/tables show aggregated outcomes (attainment, progress, key characteristics) by school and common cohorts.

    Same filters as school‑level view where appropriate.

    As a trust‑level user, I want to export multi‑school summaries to CSV, so that I can blend them with other trust data sources (perhaps add this last point to export idea).

  19. As a group education lead, I want a way to bring selected pastoral or attitudinal indicators alongside academic and test data, so that I can analyse outcomes in the context of behaviour and wellbeing.

    Data model extended user-defined “pastoral indicators” per pupil (e.g. behaviour points, attitude to learning band, wellbeing flags), sourced via manual entry, import or integration.

    Pastoral fields available as filters and breakdown dimensions in core analysis reports (e.g. see attainment/progress by attitude to learning band), similar to sisra.

  20. I want to investigate MIS integration options that work in regions where our current sync provider (e.g. Wonde) is unavailable, so that international schools can still benefit from automated pupil and attendance updates.

    Technical discovery completed on at least one alternative approach (e.g. direct MIS API, SFTP file drops, alternative integration partner).

    Consider constraints for China‑based schools documented (latency, firewalls, data residency).

    Recommendation document produced with options, pros/cons, and high‑level effort estimates.
