Pupil progress reports:
Tailored to your role and goal
At Juniper Education, we understand that teachers and
school leaders don’t have time to waste trying to figure out
which report provides the data they need. In fact, we believe
that teachers shouldn’t have to spend unnecessary time
navigating the system to find the right report. Let’s face it:
no one remembers the names of reports, especially if the
system isn’t something they use on a daily basis. That's why
the new reports landing page, launching this term in Sonar
Tracker—the UK’s fastest-growing pupil progress platform—
will provide a more intuitive experience, allowing you to filter
reports based on your role or specific objective
New for 2025, this latest feature will make it easier to access
and filter reports based on your specific role or the outcome
you’re preparing for. This will save time and allow you to
focus more on what matters—improving pupil outcomes.
Whether you’re a senior leader preparing for a governor
meeting or a teacher compiling data for a pupil progress
meeting, Sonar Tracker will suggest the best reports for your
needs. But don’t worry—you’ll still have access to the full list
of reports if you want to explore more options. This update
is just one of the ways Juniper is helping to streamline
workflow so that teachers and leadership teams can spend
less time managing data and more time improving pupil
progress.
Shaping Development Through Customer
Feedback
This reporting feature wasn’t created in a vacuum—it is the
result of feedback and collaboration with our Product
Discovery Group. Our ongoing conversations with schools
and educators have been invaluable in helping us prioritise
the features that matter most. The Product Discovery
Group ensures that customer needs are at the heart of our
development process. When you suggest improvements
or identify gaps in reporting, your input directly influences
the direction of Sonar Tracker’s roadmap. It’s a great example
of how Juniper listens to its customers and builds solutions
that truly make a difference in the classroom.
About Sonar Tracker
Sonar Tracker is a powerful platform that supports teachers,
school leaders, and Multi-Academy Trusts (MATs) by
providing data and insights to help improve pupil outcomes.
With Sonar Tracker, schools can simplify assessment
management, automate manual tasks like data collation
and analysis, and access intuitive dashboards that display
pupil progress at a glance.
The platform is highly flexible, integrating with classroom
teaching, supporting both formative and summative
assessments, and helping school leaders with planning and
resource allocation. Whether you’re tracking trends,
identifying gaps, or planning interventions, Sonar Tracker
gives you the tools you need to make evidence-based
decisions and improve academic outcomes.
Supporting Schools, Improving Outcomes
Sonar Tracker gives schools a comprehensive 360 view of
their assessment data. Build a complete picture of each pupil
by combining formative, summative, and test data with
in-app observations. Leverage this information through our
curated reports to analyse individual performance, identify
class-wide trends, and monitor whole-school progress—
delivering actionable insights to drive targeted interventions
and enhance pupil outcomes.
It provides built-in reports and analysis tools that track
progress across multiple areas. Teachers can quickly identify
where pupils are excelling or falling behind, while leaders
gain insights into school-wide performance. This means that
decisions can be made swiftly and effectively, with a clear
focus on improving pupil outcomes.
At Juniper, we’ll handle the technical side of things so that
you can focus on what truly matters: supporting your
students and improving their learning experiences.
Sonar Observations
In the Autumn Term of 2024/25, Sonar Tracker introduced a
new feature: Sonar Observations. This tool lets you create
observations with comments and photos, tag pupils and
subjects, and easily access both published and draft
observations. And that’s just the start! Based on feedback
from schools, we’re continuing to develop this tool to
include features like tagging objectives, linking assessments,
and curating detailed observation reports that focus on the
area you need. Whether you need to showcase all the
observations gathered for a particular pupil's parents'
evening or you're a subject lead preparing to report on how
your subject is being taught - Sonar Tracker will give you
all the information you need.
For school leaders, this means having an easy and flexible
way to record and use insights about pupils. Sonar
Observations makes it simple to track progress and identify
areas for improvement, helping to support better decisions
and improve outcomes for every pupil.
