Sonar Tracker: EYFS (2020) Quadrant Report

Overview

This article provides an overview of the EYFS (2020) Quadrant report's purpose, guidance on how to access it, the various types of information it contains, and the different controls that help you customise what you see in the report.

Purpose

The EYFS Quadrant report lets you compare attainment and progress to ensure appropriate judgements are made that will help to inform potential interventions. A series of quadrants are used, one for each subject, to visualise the comparison. Each matrix within the report shows pupils based on whether they are working Below or AtAge Related Expectations as well as how they are making progress (either At, or Below expectations). Using this knowledge, teachers, headteachers and other members of the SLT can determine those groups of pupils within which subjects should be the focus of additional support, or other interventions as appropriate.

Looking at progress or attainment independently of each other could distort how a pupil is getting on. For example, a pupil working below their attainment expectations could be making accelerated progress. This would not be identified if only attainment were being considered. Similarly, a pupil could be working above their attainment expectations, but making poor progress. The EYFS Quadrantreport highlights these pupils by placing them in the appropriate quadrant:

Progress: Below Expectation / Attainment: ARE On Track (top-left). Pupils are making progress below expectation but are working at, or above, age related attainment expectations. These pupils, for example, may be coasting or have had a period of long term absence.
Progress: At or Above Expectation / Attainment: ARE On Track (top-right). Pupils are working at the expected rate of progress and are achieving the expected level of attainment or higher. These pupils are unlikely to be a cause for concern.
Progress: Below Expectation / Attainment: ARE Not On Track (bottom-left). Pupils are making progress below expectation and are working below age related attainment expectations. Pupils in this quadrant are those who are most likely to benefit from some additional support through intervention strategies or similar.
Progress: At or Above Expectation / Attainment: ARE Not On Track (bottom right). Pupils are making progress at or above expectations but are working below the expected age related attainment. These pupils are potentially closing the gap towards being at the age related expectation.

By default, when the report is opened, the results from the last Assessment Period of the previous Academic Year, to the current Assessment Period are used to generate each quadrant. A quadrant is loaded automatically for the Subjects Word Reading, Writing and Number. These can be changed as required.

Select Names from the Display Options menu to see each pupil's assessment details for the two Assessment Period selected. This removes the needs to run another report to view the range of assessments.

In this report, pupils with missing assessment data are included in the calculations. Any numerical counts or percentage calculations regarding pupil numbers include all pupils, regardless of whether they have assessment records.

If there are gaps in a pupil's assessment data across the various Assessment Periods, those pupils are not included in the comparisons.

Elements

Field Name	Description
Progress: Below Expectation / Attainment: ARE On Track (top-left)	Percentage and number of pupils that are making progress below expectation but are working at, or above, age related attainment expectation. These pupils, for example, may be coasting or have had a period of long term absence.
Progress: At or Above Expectation / Attainment: ARE On Track (top-right)	Percentage and number of pupils that are working at the expected rate of progress and the expected attainment or higher. These pupils are unlikely to be a cause for concern.
Progress: Below Expectation / Attainment: ARE Not On Track (bottom-left)	Percentage and number of pupils that are making progress below expectation and are working below age related attainment expectations. Pupils in this quadrant are those who are most likely to benefit from some additional support through intervention strategies or similar.
Progress: At or Above Expectation / Attainment: ARE Not On Track (bottom-right)	Percentage and number of pupils that are making progress at or above expectations but are working below the expected age related attainment. These pupils are potentially closing the gap towards being at the age related expectation.
No Assessment	This field is only displayed if there are pupils within the selected set who have no assessment data / missing assessment data. The field indicates the percentage and number of pupils (displayed in brackets) where no assessment data has been recorded. The percentage is calculated as follows: No Assessment % = (Number of pupils with No Assessment data ÷ Total number of pupils) x 100 It is important to remember that this percentage is calculated based on the size of the total set (the total number of pupils selected).
Name	The Name of the pupil whose assessment results are shown for the two Assessment Points. Pupil Names are only visible when Names has been selected from the Display Options menu, or if one of the quadrants has been selected so that pupil specific assessment results are shown.
From Academic Year and Assessment Point	The attainment level achieved by the pupil for the From Academic Year and Assessment Point. Pupil Names are only visible when Names has been selected from the Display Options menu, or if one of the quadrants has been selected so that pupil specific assessment results are shown.
To Academic Year and Assessment Point	The attainment level achieved by the pupil for the To Academic Year and Assessment Point. Pupil Names are only visible when Names has been selected from the Display Options menu, or if one of the quadrants has been selected so that pupil specific assessment results are shown.

Controls

Control	Description
	Select to refresh the contents of the report. This is particularly useful if you think that the data may have changed whilst you were using the report, for example, if someone else added new assessment data during the time you were viewing it.
Filters (1 Active Filter or x Active Filters)	The filters control indicates how many filters are currently applied to the data set. Select to contextually filter the pupils.
From Academic Year and Assessment Point	Select the Academic Year and Assessment Point for the From Data Set. By default this is set at the last Assessment Point in the previous Academic Year.The value you select using this control will determine those Assessment Points available for selection in the From Academic Year and Assessment Point (only Assessment Points including and after the value here will be available for selection).
To Academic Year and Assessment Point	Select the Academic Year and Assessment Point for the To Data Set. By default this is set at the current Assessment Point in the current Academic Year.The values available for selection will be limited to those Assessment Points that are equal to or after the value selected for the From Academic Year and Assessment Point.
Subject(s)	Check the Subjects that you want to use when running the EYFS Quadrant report. The Subjects to choose from are: Listening, Attention and Understanding. Speaking. Self-Regulation.
