  1. Currently the csv export allows us to choose half terms from this academic year and summer 2 from previous year. Can I request for all terms to be included?
    This would help us when creating data extracts as our current process requires us to use find and replace if schools have changed their code labels. Also useful for schools to able to choose any previous half terms.

  3. Schools should be able to edit the ARE headers in EYFS the same way the can in the primary area.
    This will allow them to see reports, such as EYFS age related overview that directly correlate to the summative entry headers.

  4. Schools would like to be able to run a report such as the Primary Characteristic Attainment Overview and be able to add their own bespoke Groups to the report to view them alongside the existing groups. For example if school made a 'Home Grown' Group they would like to view it alongside Boys, Girls, DIS, SEN etc..Please note this is NOT the same as filtering for the bespoke group.

  5. It would be really useful to be able to see all aspects on the good level of development report instead of those only related to GLD The same features was available on on OTrack that allowed you to click and add all aspects.

  6. 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

  8. 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…

  9. In the new version of the Primary summative data, you are now unable to see the previous term's level. This now makes it much more time consuming for teachers to update and change the assessment levels. Furthermore there is no clear and easy way to print out the summative levels to have in front of teachers whilst they are doing this.

    Moving to Sonar has brought many challenges with things being different to Target Tracker, but one of the selling points to staff was that the interface was more intuitive and we only needed to change data points for the…

  10. 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!

  11. EAL/English proficiency is collected from Arbor and uploaded into Sonar,we would like to see the 4 classifications (Basic, Intermediate, Fluent, none) in Arbor so that we can track progress with reading/writing with changes in levels of English proficiency.

  12. Primary Summative Assessments have recently been updated. Previously, I was able to arrange the students alphabetically by their forename; however, following the new update, this is no longer an option. Adding this feature back really helps and saves time when entering the data.

  13. In Sonar Tracker, under Primary Formative, the choice of changing the options when the objectives are clicked. Something along the lines of met and not met, met being green and not met being red.

  14. It would be useful if the 'Flight Path' tracker could include test scores/scaled scores instead of just Above/at/below. This would mean data would be more precise, showing progress of those children, such as SEND, who make smaller jumps - such as moving between the pre key stage standards rather then the end of year expectation (we have assigned a scaled score/test score to each of these). It would allow us to track those vulnerable groups in more detail, showing they are making progress throughout their school journey.

  16. 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.

  17. I want teachers and leaders to be able to toggle a formative view so that only KPI “statement groups” (a defined subset of curriculum objectives) are shown,
    so that teachers can assess the full curriculum while leaders can quickly see performance and coverage against just the agreed KPIs without rebuilding views each time.

    Admins can define one or more KPI/statement groups per subject (e.g. “Reading KPIs”) by selecting from the existing curriculum objectives, without needing Juniper to hard‑code them.

    In the formative grid, users can apply a simple filter/toggle (e.g. “Show: All objectives / KPI only”) that instantly hides non‑KPI…

  18. As a school or trust data lead, I want to be able to switch a cohort/report between a “point in time” assessment model and a linear/progress model, so that I can analyse either static judgements at each data drop or how pupils move over time along a defined trajectory.

  19. As a trust leader, I want a multi‑school analytics view that reliably shows key metrics by school, year group, gender and disadvantage, so that I can compare performance and identify support needs across the group.

    Charts/tables show aggregated outcomes (attainment, progress, key characteristics) by school and common cohorts.

    Same filters as school‑level view where appropriate.

    As a trust‑level user, I want to export multi‑school summaries to CSV, so that I can blend them with other trust data sources (perhaps add this last point to export idea).

  20. As a group education lead, I want a way to bring selected pastoral or attitudinal indicators alongside academic and test data, so that I can analyse outcomes in the context of behaviour and wellbeing.

    Data model extended user-defined “pastoral indicators” per pupil (e.g. behaviour points, attitude to learning band, wellbeing flags), sourced via manual entry, import or integration.

    Pastoral fields available as filters and breakdown dimensions in core analysis reports (e.g. see attainment/progress by attitude to learning band), similar to sisra.
