Rewards data - XP earned both weekly and in aggregate for your selected timeframe. In aggregate, we'll include a breakdown of XP earned, so you can see whether they've earned it via their compulsory or optional homework, or via Independent Learning
Additional student data - PP (pupil premium), FSM (free school meals), EAL (English as an additional language), Gender
This data can only be included if we sync data from your MIS and your school's Wonde administrator has granted Sparx access to this data (if we've been granted access to some, but not all data, we'll include the data that we're able to)
Teacher names - includes the name(s) of any teachers associated with a class
Using filters to analyse your report
Most popular spreadsheet software allows you to easily filter and sort the data in your spreadsheet
You can use these features to help you to analyse the data in your student activity report
For example, in Microsoft Excel you can:
Use the dropdown arrows to the right of each column header to filter or sort the rows
Hide entire rows and/or columns that you are not interested in, in order to see a more streamlined view by right-clicking on the column letter or row number and selecting "Hide column/row"

Frequently Asked Questions
Why might student numbers differ between reports?
Why might student numbers differ between reports?
Completion statistics only include students with homework switched on. Students set to Optional Only or with homework switched off may not be included in some metrics.
Why is my student activity report taking a long time to download?
Why is my student activity report taking a long time to download?
Adding more data categories will mean that the report takes longer to generate. The report can also take longer to generate later in the school year when there's more data to process. If you're a larger school and generate a report containing all data categories towards the end of the school year, the report could take up to 2 minutes to generate.
How does the date filter work?
How does the date filter work?
The student activity report reports by week. It's not possible to generate a report for a time period of less than a week. When you select a start and end date for the report, we'll include data for the full weeks that encompass your selected dates.
Can I add SEND data to the reports?
Can I add SEND data to the reports?
We don't include SEND data in any reports. The Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) consider such data to be 'special category data', which needs more protection than other categories of data.
How is rank calculated in the school leaderboard?
How is rank calculated in the school leaderboard?
The schools leaderboard sheet is ranked by the compulsory completion rate. Students set to Optional Only will not affect the data in this column.
Why is my school not in the leaderboard this week?
Why is my school not in the leaderboard this week?
Only schools with homework due in the previous week will be included in the report.
