  2. The Pupil Flight Path in OTrack could be used to see/export data for a single child showing the assessments for their whole time in school on one report. It was useful to SENCO's and as a Parents Evening Report. It had the subject options of either Reading, Writing & Maths, Core Subjects, Foundation Subjects, Other Curriculum Subjects or All Subjects

  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. Eg Schools often want to see what ELG data was for a cohort once they are in a higher year group. Currently this involves having to manually make a group that includes leavers (but only those who were here at the time) and excludes pupils who have joined since (even though some of these may have results that have been imported since).
    The Statutory Dashboard will include pupils with data so works for leavers but not necessarily joiners and does not tell us who is included or the % who achieved Expected for each Aspect, the Outcomes report does this…

  7. 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.

  8. The ability to run the report for all 17 areas would be preferrable. This is to allow schools to see areas that need improvements.

    Thank you everyone for your feedback on the EYFS Good Level of Development Tracking report in Sonar.


    Extending the GLD Tracking report to all 17 ELGs is now under review.


    I am also pleased to say that all filter options are now consistent across the new report formats, including Birth Term.


    Thank you

  9. Add the groups CIN (Children In Need) and LAC (Looked after) to the Primary Age Related Overview tables and the Primary Summative Analysis tables, so data analysis mirrors the new OFSTED framework & IDSR.

  10. 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. Teachers would like to print reports of formative assessments made each term of the pupils - which objectives they have achieved, etc. using the colours. We used to have a report in Otrack called Depth of Knowledge by Group and Objective Assessment progress

  14. 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)

  15. It would be helpful to have report PDFs in portrait and not just landscape. This could make the length of reports shorter and easier to read.

  16. A way to share with Governors R/W/M attainment of all year groups, for boys. girls, PP, SEN etc in a concise report.

    Currently this means creating the ARO Report for a year group with the summary and export to pdf = 3 pages. Filter for another year group and export = 3 pages. This results in an 18 page report with EYFS still to do. It would also be helpful if we could choose which groups to include in the summary and be able to separate year groups once viewing the summary version of the report. Being able to create…

  18. Ability to sort by surname not forename in reports. I am so surprised this functionality is not already there. In order of forename is simply not practical in year groups with 90 children. There is not even the workaround to export to excel as it is PDF only.

  19. To be able to choose what to regard as 'At'. Schools that use our default code model where Just At and At are treated as At in this report would find it useful to be able to show securely at and above only, either as a comparison or instead of including Just At.

    The Venn Report allows the metric to be changed so something similar here would be useful.

  20. School suggestion to have a table report that gives the current term attainment for all subjects.

    It would look similar to the data entry screen, but easier to see everything on one page - plus exportable if required
