Sonar Tracker: EYFS Good Level of Development Tracking Report

Sonar Tracker

Overview

This article provides an overview of the EYFS Good Level of Development Tracking report's purpose, guidance on accessing 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 Good Level of Development Tracking report lets you quickly see which pupils are currently on track for GLD based on how they perform against the expected standard for each of the twelve subject areas that make up GLD. Where pupils are not yet achieving GLD, you can identify areas for development and introduce interventions to maximise each pupil's opportunity to reach it.

Demonstration

Opening the page

After selecting the EYFS Good Level of Development Tracking report from the Reports page menu, you will be prompted to select which pupils you wish to include. Select one or more Year Groups and/or Classes then select Load Report:

When choosing your Year Group, Pre Entry, Entry 1, Entry 2, Nursery 1 and Nursery 2 are not listed as options as you can only get GLD status for pupils from Reception onwards.
