  1. It would save a huge amount of time if targets for the end of Summer 2 could be automatically bulk filled based on the children's end of previous summer 2 assessments, making an assumption of expected progress. This would mean only tweaking those few children who are expected to make slower or accelerated progress, rather than having to enter each one manually.

  2. In Target Tracker there was a curriculum planner report so that subject leaders could easily see what the objectives are in each band for their subject. This helps to check coverage of the curriculum in the school. Sonar Tracker does not have this feature which makes it difficult for subject leaders to have a clear document detailing the band statements.

  5. Being able to filter the statements according to pre key stage level (as we could in Target Tracker) to be able to see which standard has been achieved

  6. The Venn diagram report is dreadful. It is over too many pages, the names over lap and it doesnt print well. the previous report on O'Track was excellent. i dont understand why you have changed a report that was so good. Tracking those pupil who are at in all subjects is critical. I'm so disappointed in the whole Sonar system, but this report id just dreadful!

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

  8. It would be useful to be able to have an overall figure for the number of children making expected progress or accelerated progress - as a cumulative function.
    Currently, the Summative Progress Analysis provides the figures but these need to be added up to calculate cumulative.
    The Conversion Matrix has cumulative but only for each starting point, it doesn't show in the KPIs, so again needs manually adding up.

  9. Is there was a way to add the = or - numbers that you see on the target analysis report to the summative progress analysis report?

    This would at least show a numerical indicator of progress which would help steps/linear schools?

    So a child working below ARE for Year 4 - they would have +2 as gone from 3JA to 3Above. Better than just saying 'expected progress' when in fact she has improved.

    I guess one big issue would be the code model the school has (number of codes within ARE)

  10. Schools like to be able to quantify how much progress pupils are making not just expected, above and below. This includes the ability to show an overall average for group of children. Target Tracker schools are used to being able to do this so find the current progress reports in Sonar are not sufficiently detailed.

  11. It would be good to have this as an option during the data entry process for a nursery cohort, it will help to inform judgements in a more straightforward way than the pre-existing options in my opinion. It would also be really good to have this option as a link in observations, so when exported it can be evidenced children are working securely within an age range.

  12. Are you able to give me a report of the ethnicity of our students on a percentage table – i.e. percentage of each ethnicity of our children.

  13. We were wondering if sonar can generate any reports around which children haven't met particular formative statements yet, as this would be useful for interventions. For example, any children who were red on a particular formative statement (like adding 3 one digit numbers) would be shown on a report displaying information for all the year group's classes. Then we could run an intervention to plug that gap for those specific children.

  14. It would be useful to be able to sort/rank progress in reports - this would allow schools to quickly and easily identify which pupils are making the least (or most) progress instead of needing to scroll through a list and pick them out.
    Even better if it were possible to filter for just those making below expected progress.

  17. When selecting the subjects for the EYFS Age Related overview, it has a default setting of 3 subjects - to add additional subjects, you cannot click multiple ones when the drop down list is open - the list closes after each subject is selected.
    In the Primary Age Related overview, when using the filters to add classes, again the drop down list closes after each selection.

  18. 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.

  19. Schools who have additional columns such as SATS Maths Paper 1 and Paper 2 would like to have a Total column which works out the total automatically (total column can be currently added but they have to manually work out the total at the moment)/

  20. Current templates have too much information for an interim report. An adaptable template which includes; an overview of attendance, attainment, progress and does not have teacher comments would be great and save a lot of time.

    We would also like to be able to name the document and add our school logo. This would have a huge impact on teacher workload.
