  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  5. 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

  6. 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.

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

  8. 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.

  9. 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.

  10. 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.

  12. 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.

  13. When looking through assessments, indicate that there are observations logged against that objective.
    Similar to how you hover over the clock to show previous assessments perhaps?
    When checking for completeness of evidence for a section of learning, the ability to see this and quickly upload a new observation from this page would be a fantastic time saver.

  14. It would be useful for the data entry screen in the test scores area to be colour coded according the school ARE settings. This would give a clear snapshot of pupil data.

  15. It would be useful to see a child's attendance record for their time in primary school as it was in Target Tracker. That is, each child in their year/class group with a percentage figure for each year. We could then filter below 90%.
    It would also be useful to be able to filter attendance by ethnicity and other groups. In Sonar, you can't see the names of who is in the SEN/EAL/disadvantaged group.

  16. In the 'Primary Formative Progress Analysis' Report, the order of names is by first name. However, the rest of the time (e.g. in the Summative) they are by surname. This means it is tricky when going from one to the other. Please could the be in the same order, or that there is the option to change the setting for this?

  18. It would be extremely helpful to be able to print the assessment and test score data. as PDFs or to download them into Excels so the data can be edited and shared more easily.

  19. 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.

  20. 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.
