  1. Customers have suggested it would be helpful to be able to copy targets from one term to the next.
    If these are entered into the wrong term, currently a school has to manually do them all over again.

  2. I suggest a really useful addition to Early Years observations would be to be able to link age related expectations suggested by the development matters framework, as this will inform assessment, and will then be able to be exported as evidence.

  3. It would be useful to be able to have an overall figure for the number of children making expected progress or accelerated progress - as a cumulative function.
    Currently, the Summative Progress Analysis provides the figures but these need to be added up to calculate cumulative.
    The Conversion Matrix has cumulative but only for each starting point, it doesn't show in the KPIs, so again needs manually adding up.

  4. Would it be possible to add the display options button when using the subject overview report so that we have cumulative data? Thanks

  5. Where schools have test data, such as GL scores, this would be time consuming to add manually to Sonar. It would be far more usable if we could import this from another format such as a spreadsheet.

  6. It would be very helpful to have the date the children started the school added to contextual information,. We have high levels of mobility and so it would be very useful to filter and see which children, in a class or year group, joined. We used to use this on Target Tracker all the time.

  8. At present it is only possible to explore data within the test report in any detail by amending the threshold scores in the whole school setting sections. The test scores report in the original Target Tracker was far more flexible as it allowed you to set thresholds for below, above etc within the report itself - much quicker and much more flexible.

  9. End of Key Stage reports allow schools to see overall numbers and percentages, pupils' names and to view in Summary mode. There is no equivalent report for Phonics or MTC which schools need.
    Although the Analysis tab gives headline data, no detail such as pupils names or context can be seen.

  10. On Target Tracker, you could generate a 'class context' sheet which held the information for each pupil in columns: forename, surname, DoB, date of entry, gender, EAL status, FSM status, SEN status...

    It would be brilliant to be able to generate this same sheet from within Sonar, and to export it as a PDF, Word or Excel file.

  11. Ability to enter other test scores and results from other tests throughout the year - e.g. Rising Stars, NGRT, etc.
    Ability to enter book band colours
    Ability to enter assessment more frequently than half termly

  12. School's would like to track the inputting of data for formative assessment on a Monthly rather than Termly basis. It is interesting for SLT to be able to track when children are achieving objectives and sometimes this can change multiple times over a half term.

  13. Include SEN as a contextual tag nest to children's names as PP, EAL and FSM already are.

  14. 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

  15. 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)

  18. Schools using the Ages Assessment feature would benefit from their Ages data being available within the Single Pupil Overview report as is Summative and Test Scores data. Or the creation of a new Ages Flight Path report where they can see the Ages data over time.

  19. On Target Tracker, data could be reorganised by more able to less able rather than just by forename/surname

  20. When you have flood filled, particularly formative data, if you have made a mistake it would be useful to be able to 'undo' this and put the assessment back to how it was.
