Sonar Multi-School

Purpose

Accessed from the Statutory Dashboard in Sonar Multi-School, the Key Stage Two Widget highlights the percentage of eligible pupils across your Trust who achieved Expected or Greater Depth, or Greater Depth by the end of Key Stage 2 for Reading, Writing, Mathematics, and all three combined (Reading, Writing and Mathematics).

Details of the statutory data eligibility rules that govern these measures are provided in a sub-section below. This will help you to understand which pupils are included in these measures and how they are calculated.

Statutory data eligibility rules

The following rules apply to determining which pupils are included in the calculations above, using their data stored in Sonar Tracker.

Cohort

Year 6 pupils (excluding Leavers) for the current academic year.

Eligible pupils - individual subjects

For each individual subject headline measure, eligibility is determined based on whether a pupil has any result in:

• Reading and Mathematics
  • In raw scores, scaled scores, or outcome.
  • If no raw score, scaled score, or outcome, then a Reading TA or Mathematics TA result (any alpha) counts.
• Writing and Science
  • Any result in Writing TA or Science TA.

Eligible pupils - combined subjects

For the combined headline measures, eligibility is calculated using the number of pupils (not Leavers) who have any alpha or numerical result recorded in Mathematics raw score, scaled score, or TA, Reading raw score, scaled score, or TA, and Writing TA in Sonar Tracker. For Mathematics and Reading, if a pupil has a TA result, by definition they cannot be EXS or GDS but should still be counted as eligible.

Not eligible pupils - individual subjects

Pupils who are not eligible are:

• Those with no result in the subject for raw scores, outcomes, or TA - those with no assessment data recorded against them.
• Those with missing assessment data.

Not eligible pupils - combined subjects

Pupils who are not eligible are:

• Those with no results in any of the three subjects for raw scores, outcomes, or TA - those with no assessment data recorded against them.
• Those with a result in at least one of the three subjects, but not all three (Reading raw score, scaled score, or TA, Writing TA, Mathematics raw score, scaled score, or TA).
• Those with missing assessment data.

Example

There are 30 pupils (excluding Leavers) in Year 6 with data stored in Sonar Tracker:

• 27 pupils have results in all four subjects (in either raw score or TA depending on the rules above).
• 1 pupil has no data in any Key Stage 2 assessment (no data in raw scores, outcomes, or TA).
• 1 pupil is missing a result for Science TA (but does have raw scores and outcomes for Mathematics and Reading and a Writing TA result).
• 1 pupil has no results in raw scores or outcomes but does have a Reading TA and Writing TA, but no Mathematics TA or Science TA.
