Dear Customer,
We understand it has been a while since our last update about the development of Sonar Tracker, but we are pleased to share an update on our forthcoming developments.
Drawing from your invaluable feedback, we've decided to develop within the existing system. You're already familiar with the Sonar layout, and these developments will maintain that familiarity while introducing new features and improvements. You'll be able to use these enhancements without having to learn a new system and give you an uninterrupted service whilst the new features are released.
What we are developing ready for the summer term
This imminent update focuses on key features that directly respond to the specific requirements voiced by you.
- Pupil Observations - This feature allows you to provide evidence for your judgements by attaching photos, tagging specific pupils, recording formative objectives and assessing in a streamlined manner.
- Parent Reporting – Generate pupil reports detailing their attainment levels, offering options to include assessments on effort and behaviour. Teachers can supplement these reports with personalised comments, fostering a more holistic understanding of each pupil's performance.
- CTF Export for Statutory Data – With this feature, exporting your Statutory Data becomes hassle-free, ensuring compliance and simplifying administrative tasks.
- Multiplication Tables Check – This feature enables the input and reporting of data related to the Multiplication Tables Check, providing a comprehensive overview of pupil performance in the Year 4 statutory assessment.
Upcoming developments
These releases will introduce features aimed at saving you time and bringing greater depth of insight into your school. Your feedback will determine what we are working on next, but highlights will include:
- Class Dashboard - Easily track progress, view key metrics, and access key class data with minimal clicks for more efficient classroom management.
- Benchmarking – Utilise benchmarking tools to evaluate your school with over 5,000 Juniper schools, gaining valuable insights and identifying areas of improvement by leveraging comparative data analysis.
- Improved Settings - Customise assessment codes specifically tailored to Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) for streamlined data entry and reporting.
Your feedback remains central to our progress, and in the new year, we are excited to introduce an improved way for you to share feedback with us that will keep you informed of how we’re developing your ideas.
Thank you for being a part of our mission to develop Sonar so that we can help you to improve pupil outcomes.
Kind regards,
Juniper Education
