Sonar Tracker: Can I assess pupils by group?

Overview

This article shows you how to create a group and then assess pupils using that group.

A group is used to select a collection of pupils. They hold pupils who share a common attribute / common attributes that you want to view together. Good examples of groups include year groups, form groups, class groups, ability-based teaching groups (for example, in Literacy and Numeracy), intervention groups, after-school club groups or anything else that may be useful for data collection or analysis.

When assessing by group, bulk filling will often speed up data entry. After bulk filling you can manually change those few different results as needed. For more information see Sonar Tracker: How do I bulk fill data?
