Sonar Tracker: How do I download a CTF from GIAP?

Sonar Tracker

Overview

This article explains how to download a CTF from the Get Information About Pupils (GIAP) website to use when you import your Statutory Data into Sonar Tracker (see Sonar Tracker: How do I import Statutory Data into Sonar Tracker from a CTF?). You may want to do this to import any missing EYFS or KS1 statutory pupil data. The approach below will extract data for all children, with a valid UPN, whose results were returned at the end of EYFS and/or KS1, including Phonics scores, irrespective of their school at the time.

Prerequisites

  1. A DfE Sign-in (DSI).

Instructions

  2. Log in using your DfE Sign-In (DSI) registered email address.
  3. Select Search NPD using UPNS.
  4. Enter the UPNs for the pupils whose data you want to search for. A separate line should be used for each pupil. If you have copied this information from Microsoft Excel, each UPN will be listed on a separate line. 
  5. Select Search.
  6. Download the CTF (XML file) to your device.
  7. Refer to this article to rename the file - Renaming a CTF to import into MIS

Outcome

This CTF file can now be imported into Sonar Tracker (if you are an Account Owner or Account Admin):

  1. If you use the stand-alone version of Sonar Tracker, see Sonar Tracker: How do I import Statutory Data into Sonar Tracker from a CTF? for further guidance.
  2. If you use the integrated version of Sonar Tracker you will import the data into Sonar Tracker through the Juniper MIS, see MIS: How do I import a CTF? for further guidance.

If you don't know which version of Sonar Tracker you use, see Sonar Tracker: Which version of Sonar Tracker am I using?
