I've met 2 MATs and 4 schools this term that really want this

I find it really limiting that this is not an option. Sisra (another Juniper product!) allows for manual upload of data from SIMS, so I am really unsure as to my this hasn't been part of the development. Using the current setup either myself or the teachers will be doing double the work, as expectation at our setting is for targets to be entered into our MIS. I am now having to manually re-enter the whole cohort into Sonar!

It wouldn't be such an issue if it was then possible to do an initial Sonar input, and then export the targets into a CSV format that I could then upload into our MIS, but that isn't possible either...

I don't feel that during the initial stages it was properly communicated that the' drag and drop' data input would only apply to statutory assessment, and the system would require manual input for anything formative and targets.

I often hear from MAT's how important this is to them, for time saving and getting the most out of the triangulation of the data.

It would be useful because it would allow us to analyse pupils summative progress against their Rising Stars progress and would save time compared to entering the results for three different tests per child manually.

Currently schools have to manually enter pupils' test scores. Most providers offer the ability to download assessment data into a csv file. It would be useful for schools if Sonar had the function to import these files.
