  1. 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.

  2. Schools would like to be able to be able to change the date of an observation as they don't always get to type up the observations and add photos at the time, or on the same day they see them.

  3. 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.

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

  7. Schools would like to be able to re-order their Formative Subjects to improve usability and consistency for staff. A content Editor like the one OTrack had would be ideal to allow schools to manage their own Formative content.

  8. 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.

  11. 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

  12. 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.

  13. EYFS Age Related Overview Report - Ability to see % on track for all aspects in each Area
    Currently by choosing all aspects in Communications Language;
    Listening, Attention and Understanding along with Speaking and selecting combined, we can see the % of pupils on track in all aspects within the Area.
    As EYFS leads often wish to report the % on track in each Area it would be great if this report (or one similar to the GLD report - with all aspects in) showed this either as an extra row / column or had the option to view.
    is…

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

  15. 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.

  17. Currently this just says 'Group' so teachers have to add this to the report, remembering what group was filtered for. Would be more useful if names of group was referenced.

  18. 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.

  20. 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.
