  1. Single Pupil Overview should show all subjects, not just 3 of these. With 3 subjects that isn't even the core subjects (Science is still a core subject).

    It would also be great if it showed some formative statements/objectives that the child has achieved and some they are working towards.

    Lastly, being able to print a class worth of these at a time, not 1 child's report only. - Workload!

  2. We've lost the Individual Assessment Summary report feature from TT that we use for interim reports. The current parent report is not appropriate for us to use as you can't edit the title in the formatting stage, can't add the school logo and the objectives statements are not pulled through. Teachers will have to manually input information this year which is frustrating. Can a similar Individual Assessment Summary report be made available?

  3. For schools that set end of year targets above pupils' current summative judgement, it would be useful to have a report showing this.
    For example 83% of Year 2 are targeted to achieve ARE by the end of Summer 2 as opposed to just seeing individual targets? This was something that Target Tracker did previously and is helpful in ensuring that targets set on Sonar align with targets identified in school improvement plans.

  4. At the moment the Teacher Comments, Headteacher Comments and Pupil Comments sections are included in the report template by default, even if you choose the basic grid version of the template. It would be helpful to have the option to include or exclude these sections when setting up the report template.

  5. A report that can be generated alongside the parent report to send out with statutory data on for individual children.
    It would be useful if the report included their results and national averages for that year.

  6. Schools would like the ability to view Nursery 1 & 2 children in the EYFS Good Level of Development Tracking report - as they do in OTrack. Currently the only option is Reception

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

  9. Accept and import files which begin with the school's DfE number regardless of what the destination chosen is.

    When a CTF is created, a destination is chosen; either a school, the LA or the NAA (for statutory returns). Users regularly upload these files to Sonar not understanding that with a filename like 0010115_CTF001LLLL they will not be processed. This leads to frustration for the customer and time lost waiting for a file to import that never will and contacting the support team for assistance. If the destination didn't matter, more files would import first time.

  10. Would love to be able to produce a report that is the as the same Basic Characteristics on Target Tracker - one page. This is so useful for Governor Meetings.

  13. Had schools where new children have joined them. They have no UPN. They do not need to report data but because no UPN file not created. Can we look at how to mitigate against this situation? Eg manually update children? Remove children from CTF? Make CTF without children with no UPN?

  14. Since the recent update of Sonar, the Switch Schools function is less easy to use. Although users can click on their profile and scroll through the list of schools that they have access to, this is not easy and there is no way to search as there used to be. For large MATs this is a problem - could we have it back please?

  15. We need a way to filter this report to see data for particular classes at a time, as you can with other reports. Schools with a combination of Mainstream and SEND pupils need this for reporting purposes.

  16. Please consider extending the available Year Groups on the Summative and Formative Data Entry screens and reports for use by All-Through and Special schools allowing them to use the system for all their year groups. This would be from Reception to Y14.

  17. Former OTrack customers often ask for a Sonar version of the Attainment and Progress Summary which had 3 subjects and a combined column on one page. This report is a Termly context Group report and for each subject it shows the attainment percentages for Below, At & Above next to the Termly Target (progress) %'s Below, At, Above. The Termly Targets can be changed to Progress from Previous Summer for those who don't use Targets. It is often used for progress meetings and governors.

  18. To be able to upload a school logo to be included in each individual report so that I don't have to add this to each report manually or create a cover page.

  19. The ability to see the progress that children are making between and throughout the year in tests is vital for schools that use this form of assessment.
    OTrack's Scores, Pupil and Attainment and Progress, for example, shows an average score for a class or year group and the change in score for each pupil.
    Being able to see both Summative Assessment and test score on one report would also be useful.

  20. It would be helpful if a school could print multiple subjects at a time instead of having to generate a report for each subject.
    Helen from Phoenix Primary has requested this and I can see the advantages of this for time saving within school.
