Primary Subjects
Purpose
Accessed from the Primary Subjects Overview Widget, the Primary Subjects report lets you view the percentage of pupils whose Summative Assessment for the current Assessment Period is either At or Above ARE for the Reading, Writing, Mathematics subjects individually and for Combined (RWM).
Each of the measures is presented in an individual chart and data table. You can select how you want to view the data, using the View Options menu (for example, By School, and By Gender). Within each chart and table, you can view your Trust Average (the average percentage of pupils At or Above ARE for the current Assessment Period across the whole your Trust). Using the information presented across the various views, you can analyse pupil attainment to determine how various Groups of pupils are performing compared to each other, and across your Trust. This will enable you, for example, to determine where you need to put interventions in place, and where you can learn from best practices.
By default, the report loads in the By School view.
Information: Calculations are based only on those pupils with assessment data. Pupils without assessment data are not included in calculations.
Information: The Primary Subjects report is only available for those users who are part of an establishment that comprises multiple schools in Sonar Tracker (for example, a Multi Academy Trust) and have the appropriate permission associated with their User ID to access Sonar Multi-School content.

By School | Select to view the data By School for the current Assessment Period where pupil attainment is either At or Above ARE for the subject (or combined subject) measures. Using this view you can compare how individual School attainment compares to that of other individual Schools within your Trust, and across the whole of your Trust. This lets you determine which Schools are performing well, and which may require support to improve attainment. |
By Year Group | Select to view the data By Year for the current Assessment Period where pupil attainment is either At or Above ARE for the subject (or combined subject) measures. Using this view you can compare how individual EYFS stage Year Groups compare to each other across your Trust, and across the EYFS stage Year Groups within your Trust as a whole. This lets you determine which Year Groups are performing well, and which may require support to improve attainment. |
By Gender | Select to view the data By Gender for the current Assessment Period where pupil attainment is either At or Above ARE for the subject (or combined subject) measures. Using this view you can compare attainment of Males and Females across your Trust, and with the average attainment of a pupil regardless of their Gender within your Trust.

By Disadvantaged | Select to view the data based on whether pupils are categorised as Disadvantaged or not, for the current Assessment Period where pupil attainment is either At or Above ARE for the subject (or combined subject) measures. Using this view you can compare the attainment of Disadvantaged pupils compared to those who are Not Disadvantaged across your Trust. You can also compare attainment with that of pupils regardless of whether or not they are categorised as Disadvantaged within your Trust. This lets you determine how those pupils categorised as Disadvantaged are performing, and whether there is a need to use interventions, such as additional support, to improve attainment. |
By SEN | Select to view the data based on whether pupils are categorised as having an SEN or not, for the current Assessment Period where pupil attainment is either At or Above ARE for the subject (or combined subject) measures. Using this view you can compare the attainment of those pupils that are categorised as having an SEN with those that are not across your Trust. You can also compare attainment for these groups with that of pupils regardless of whether or not they are categorised as having an SEN within your Trust. This lets you determine how those pupils categorised as having an SEN are performing, and whether there is a need to use interventions to improve attainment. |
By Ethnicity | Select to view data By Ethnicity for the current Assessment Period where pupil attainment is either At or Above ARE for the subject (or combined subject) measures. Using this view you can compare how the performance of individual ethnic groups compare to each other across your Trust, and across your Trust as a whole. This lets you determine which ethnic groups are performing well, and which may require support to improve attainment. |
