Ability to delete AtL Categories
It would be great if we are given the ability to delete/clear AtL catergories if they have not been used.

Track more things in Tracker reports
Being able to track things across multiple data sets is really useful. The Headlines Tracker report is very good. But this doesn't currently extend to the Qualifications/Grades reports - only 'average points' is trackable. Please give the ability to track 9-7%, 9-5%, 9-4%, SPI on the Tracker report.

Freeze top of screen
As in Excel, you can freeze the top of the screen so it shows the headers and filters all the time. I often have to switch filters and find it annoying to keep scrolling up and down the page many times to see what I need to. Or, alternatively, have a floating menu at the side that stays put as you scroll so the tabs, etc. go with you as you move up and down the page. I think the data is too spread out anyway.
Thank you!1 vote -
Automated data retrieval
Have an automated data export facility via an API or a Snowflake link or similar into services like Power BI. Currently we have to run 20+ different exports every time even a single grade changes and copy/paste them together to get access to do our own internal reporting including SISRA analytics stats into these kinds of services when it could all be done seamlessly and without the ongoing risk of human error quite easily.

Rename the 'Confirm Upload Qualification Names' page
When uploading subsequent grade files, user is presented with the 'Confirm Upload Qualification Names' screen where they are prompted to merge uploaded subjects with existing ones, or set as new subjects.
This page is a source of confusion for a large number of users who don't fully understand the concept of this page, which is stemmed from the name of this page being overly long and ambiguous. Simplifying the name of this page to 'Subject Mapping' or something similar, would likely make it easier for users to understand the overall purpose of this page.

GCSE Results Day Inaccuracy - A 9-8 in Science on the student page counted as two 8s
I use the following to see who the tope performers are on GCSE Results Day:
Grades>Overview>Students (and then All A8 Quals and set to count, order by APS).I've just realised that a 9-8 in science is averaged to an 8.5 and then counts as two 8s for this student, which effectively makes this page inaccurate when counting how many 9s/8s/7s a student has received. Similarly, a L2D*, 8.5 is rounded down to an 8, but this is uderstandable as the page can only count integer grades, but the science count needs to be sorted so that this page is…

Publishing area
it would be very helpful if you could see the title of ALL the assessments uploaded, and chose which you want to publish - so all of the assessments uploaded can be identified and you can see which have been published and which haven't - at the moment, until you publish you could be mistaken for thinking it's not there.

Enable a breakdown to be generated for locally created focus groups
We have recently created a focus group on Sisra for Year 10 & Year 9 Review 3 assessments. This is in order to derive performance according to CAT Band. The set up of this focus group has gone well and are using filters to see what reports look like using this criteria. What would be useful is for focus groups to also be available as a selection using "Breakdown" so we can see this information on a single page (currently this is only available for groups applicable to all Sisra customers, e.g. disadvantaged, EAL etc). Please can functionality be added…

Load the Reports overview page and see data from other year groups side-by-side
Currently there is no functionality to enable attainment to be compared for headline percentages for different year groups. If possible, please can we request the ability to load the Reports overview page and see data from other year groups side-by-side. Many thanks

Provide 'Forecast Collections' - where term is always KS4 Exams (or KS5 exams for Y12/13)
Provide an additional Forecast Collection that can be published against terms KS4 or KS5 exams to enable tracking of forecast data, with at least 3 collections a year for each cohort from Y10 to Y13.
Currently in KS4 we have to fit 4 forecasts, 4 tracking a year and 2 mocks for each cohort and splitting them between datasets and assessment collections is messy. A separate forecast collection, the same as an assessment collection but always publishing against end of Key stage exams would enable tracking of forecasts separately so much easier for staff to view1 vote -
Usage Statistics
It would be great to have some summary statistics on the Usage page, to gain a quick overview of the number of staff logging in and using the system regularly.

KS3/4 Grade Methods, Include Alternative Upload Values
KS5 includes the great functionality to allow 'Alternative Upload Values' in Grade Method creation / reconfiguration. Could this be extended to KS3/4 to allow schools to complete vocational assessments using own grade sturcture, and also allow the DfE style grades normally only seen on Embargo day. This would save a lot of 'grade not in method' icons and or updating / resolving within Excel before upload which is subject to human error.

Raise the KS5 reporting threshold from 500 students?
Can we raise the KS5 reporting threshold from 500 students for 6th form colleges with high student populations. There are approx 80 sixth form colleges across the country and we only have approx 30%. Little choice in the market and it will therefore help acquisition and make customers in this cohort stickier.

Comparisons exporting 1 row not 2
When using the comparisons function and exporting the data, it currently exports over 3 rows (eg grade on row 1, target on row 2 and diff on row 3). Would be good to have it all on 1 row.

Student Groups Summary for Qualifications (eg PP, SEND, EAL, etc)
It takes so long to export data for the different student groups. It would be great to have a summary for qualifications rather than having to filter individually (eg PP, SEND, EAL, etc)

Average Grade calculation in KS3/4 to be based on Average Points
Currently in KS3/4, Average Grade is not related to average points like it is in KS5, resulting in unexpected values. This should be adjusted to take into account average points.

Filter Level Reports - add Ethnicity
The Filter Level reports are only available for filters that have 15 values or less. Due to this, Ethnicity is not included and we would really like to meet an indicator on the Equalities Award - "2.4 The school is aware how pupils from different backgrounds are achieving and progressing in the school."

Create Focus groups from existing list, matching Student Identifier
Most of our focus groups already exist in our MIS, and it's slow duplication to select students one at a time to recreate in SISRA.
First preference is for SISRA to update student info automatically, via Wonde or similar - in which case, would request that we also be able to select existing groups from our MIS to import as Focus groups.
Failing that ... would request the ability to paste a list of Student identifiers in order to match in bulk and save as a new focus group.

identify 'current' and 'leaver' total grades separately
Grade totals in Grades Management and KS4/EAP should identify 'current' and 'leaver' total grades separately next to the subject title.
