Basic Characteristics overview
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.

Bring end of year judgements over as baseline judgement for following year
As this is a point in time tracker, it would be good if judgements carried over to the beginning of the year from the end of the previous year. An expected child remains expected so the code could carry over. I now have all year groups below expectations and teachers would have to re-enter data. This work load could be reduced by bringing grades over as a baseline.

Ability to print assessment and test score sheets
It would be extremely helpful to be able to print the assessment and test score data. as PDFs or to download them into Excels so the data can be edited and shared more easily.

Bulk fill end of year targets based on previous years' assessments
It would save a huge amount of time if targets for the end of Summer 2 could be automatically bulk filled based on the children's end of previous summer 2 assessments, making an assumption of expected progress. This would mean only tweaking those few children who are expected to make slower or accelerated progress, rather than having to enter each one manually.

Termly Phonics Phase Tracking
Phonics Phase Tracking is available in OTrack (Under Teacher Assessments) where schools track using programmes such as Read Write Inc or Letters and Sounds (or bespoke) This is a popular feature which would be an asset to Sonar. There are also Phonics Termly Targets available under Targets section to run alongside. Test Scores cannot be used for this purpose as they stages within Phonics Phase are usually a number followed by a letter eg. 2A, 2B, 2C et...

Curriculum Planner
In Target Tracker there was a curriculum planner report so that subject leaders could easily see what the objectives are in each band for their subject. This helps to check coverage of the curriculum in the school. Sonar Tracker does not have this feature which makes it difficult for subject leaders to have a clear document detailing the band statements.

Select bespoke Assessment Terms
Schools would like to be able to select the Terms they wish to assess and only see those in the summative Assessment/Scores and in reports Eg. Autumn End, Spring End, Summer End
5 votesThis is exactly the type of flexibility that is currently being discussed as part of the Sonar School Configuration Page concept. It is in its infancy in terms of planning and it can't be tied to a particular period of time for release, however it is under review.

Development Matters - Age Related Expectations for EYFS Observations
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.

Attainment and Progress Summary Report
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.

copying targets to next term
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.6 votesThe ability to copy targets across from one term to the other is now under review.

Being able to filter Pre Key Stage statements
Being able to filter the statements according to pre key stage level (as we could in Target Tracker) to be able to see which standard has been achieved

Progress for out of year group assessments (Sig Below)
Ability to track progress of pupils assessed outside of their year group (sig below). For example, if a Y5 pupil is assessed as 3At > 3B this should be interpreted as them having made less than the expected progress. Currently, all progress reports would consider these children as having made expected progress and schools want to be able to track small progress steps of these pupils better.
9 votesThank you for taking the time to feedback.
Tracking smaller step progress outside of the age-related bands in this way will soon be available to you in Sonar.
We are planning a report similar to the existing Summative Progress Analysis that will track movement of assessments made numerically e.g. 3At > 3B would display a negative difference in the number of codes (please note that the numerical difference will differ depending on your selected school ARE code model).
Thank you.

EYFS Age band Improvement Pre Reception
SONAR Age band expectations are currently:
Pre Entry 0-11 months
Entry 1 8-20 months
Entry 2 16-26 months
Nurs 1 22-36 months
Nurs 2 30-50 monthsEarly Years Leads within our schools think they should be:
Pre Entry 8-20 months
Entry 1 16-26 months
Entry 2 22-36 months
Nurs 1 30-50 months
Nurs 2 40-60 months
Reception ELGWould welcome any feedback or others opinions. Thanks

Venn Diagram as it used to be
The Venn diagram report is dreadful. It is over too many pages, the names over lap and it doesnt print well. the previous report on O'Track was excellent. i dont understand why you have changed a report that was so good. Tracking those pupil who are at in all subjects is critical. I'm so disappointed in the whole Sonar system, but this report id just dreadful!

CTF Export
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?

Extended Year Groups
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.

Add school logo to Parent Reports
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.

Switch Schools function
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?
