Sonar Tracker: Primary Summative Progress Analysis Report

Overview

This article provides an overview of the Primary Summative Progress Analysis 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 Primary Summative Progress Analysis report lets you identify the progress your pupils are making between two points in time both as a group and individually. This enables you to monitor the progress your pupils have made and identify any pupils of concern that are not making the amount of progress that you would expect. Following identification, you can put in place supporting interventions. For example, a pupil may be assessed as Just At at the first Assessment Point, but then assessed as Below in the second Assessment Point. Depending on the individual child's circumstances, this could indicate that they require additional support to reach their potential.

When the report is run, by default, you are presented with a tabular and graphical overview for the selected group of pupils in Reading, Writing, and Mathematics. Each subject is broken into Progress Bands (Below Progress, Expected Progress and Above Expected Progress). The two default points in time are the last Assessment Period in the previous Academic Year and the current Assessment Period.

Where the selected group of pupils has one or more pupils that have no assessment data associated with them in one or more subjects, a No Assessments banding is also displayed.

Under the overview table, there is a more detailed table that lists each pupil and their summative assessment for the two periods and an indicator of their overall progress.

Elements

Field Name	Description
X Pupils	Number of pupils who are included in the report.
Headline- Expected progress or higher in all subjects	This headline figure fives the number of pupils (and percentage) whose progress is at the expected level ot higher for all of the subjects that have been selected. The number of pupils is calculated by counting all of those pupils where their progress is at the expected level or above in all subjects. The percentage is based on the total number of pupils selected who have assessment data (not the total number of pupils).
No Assessment	This field is only displayed if there are pupils within the selected set who have no assessment data recorded in one of the selected Subjects. It shows a count (and a percentage) of pupils who are without assessment data for the selected Subject. The percentage is based on the total number of pupils selected who have assessment data (not the total number of pupils).
Below Progress	The number of pupils (and percentage) whose summative progress is recorded as being below what is expected of them for the Subject displayed. The percentage is based on the total number of pupils selected who have assessment data (not the total number of pupils).
Expected Progress	The number of pupils (and percentage) whose summative progress is recorded as being at the level expected for them for the Subject displayed. The percentage is based on the total number of pupils selected who have assessment data (not the total number of pupils).
Above Expected Progress	The number of pupils (and percentage) whose summative progress is recorded as being above the level expected for them for the Subject displayed. The percentage is based on the total number of pupils selected who have assessment data (not the total number of pupils).
No Assessment in one or more	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 Information: It is important to remember that this percentage is calculated based on the size of the total set (the total number of pupils selected).
Below Progress in one or more	This field is displayed when Combined is selected. The number of pupils whose summative progress is recorded as being below the expected level of progress for one or more of the Subjects displayed. The number of pupils is calculated by counting all of those pupils where progress is below in one or more subjects. The percentage is based on the total number of pupils selected (including those with no assessment data).
Expected Progress in all	This field is displayed when Combined is selected. The number of pupils whose summative progress is recorded as being at the expected level or higher for all of the Subjects displayed. The number of pupils is calculated by counting all of those pupils where progress is at the expected level or above in all subjects. The percentage is based on the total number of pupils selected (including those with no assessment data).
Above Expected Progress in all	This field is displayed when Combined is selected. The number of pupils whose summative progress is recorded as being above (higher than) the expected level for all of the Subjects displayed. The number of pupils is calculated by counting all of those pupils where progress is above the expected level in all subjects. The percentage is based on the total number of pupils selected (including those with no assessment data).
Subject	The name of the subject.
Subject - Combined	The combined (cumulative) measure for all displayed Subjects.
Name (in the Overview Table)	Name of a pupil who has been recorded as progressing at the level listed for the Subject or Combined subjects.
Name (in the Pupil Table)	The Name of the pupil whose assessment results are being shown in the two Assessment Points
From Academic Year and Assessment Point	The pupil's summative assessment for the from (starting) Assessment Point. By default, the From Academic Year and Assessment Point are set at the last Assessment Point in the previous Academic Year. The PITA 4 attainment codes are used when displaying summative assessment (see Point-in-Time Assessment (PITA) for further information including the meanings of the codes).
To Academic Year and Assessment Point	The pupil's summative assessment for the To (end) Assessment Point. By default, the To Academic Year and Assessment Point are set at the current Assessment Point in the current Academic Year. The PITA 4 attainment codes are used when displaying summative assessment (see Point-in-Time Assessment (PITA) for further information including the meanings of the codes).
Progress	An indicator showing the pupil's progress from the From Assessment Point to the To Assessment Point (in terms of whether their ARE has changed to a higher / lower level). Progress is highlighted as follows: Green background with a green arrow indicates progress is being made (for example, a change in the ARE from B at the From Assessment Point to JA by the To Assessment Point). Yellow background with a yellow tick indicates no progress is being made (for example, no change in the ARE - for both Assessment Points it is At). Red background with a down arrow indicates regression is happening (for example, a change in the ARE from At at the From Assessment Point to JA by the To Assessment Point).

You can use this report to drill down into a pupil level of detail for each Subject. Separate Classes Check to show KPIs, tables and charts separately for each class where multiple classes have been selected, rather than using the default consolidated report view. This will save you time compared to having to run the report several times (once for each class). Separate Year Groups Check to show KPIs, tables and charts separately for each year group where multiple year groups have been selected, rather than using the default consolidated report view. This will save you time compared to having to run the report several times (once for each year group). This Display Option is only shown when multiple year groups are selected.
