Sonar Tracker, Sonar Lite
Overview
This article explains how to enter your Early Years Foundation Stage Profile (EYFSP) data into Sonar Tracker.
Statutory assessment data should only be manually entered into one system. From that system, it should be electronically exported and imported into other systems as required. If your school enters statutory data into a third-party MIS and you use stand-alone Sonar Tracker, go to Sonar Tracker: How do I import Statutory Data into Sonar Tracker from a CTF? for further information. To determine which version of Sonar Tracker you are using, see Sonar Tracker: Which version of Sonar Tracker am I using?
