Observations
See every learning moment
Observations helps teachers capture photos, notes and curriculum-linked evidence as learning happens. Link observations to individual pupils, groups or classes, build a rich picture of progress over time, and share meaningful moments with families through the Juniper Education App.
How this Supports Your School Improvement Plan
Turn observations into evidence for improvement
Observations supports the Quality of Education SIP area by helping leaders and subject leads monitor curriculum coverage, attainment and progress, providing evidence to inform priorities and evaluate impact.
Export pupil and subject reports to document progress and share meaningful updates with parents, supporting the Parental Engagement and Communication SIP area.
Capture evidence of the whole story
Observations records learning as it happens with photos and written notes linked to pupils and curriculum objectives. Use observations to evidence assessments in Sonar Tracker, building a richer picture of learning and progress that supports formative assessment, self-evaluation and meaningful conversations with parents.

"JoinUp is a no-brainer."
Observations and JoinUp
Observations is a module within Sonar Tracker, capturing evidence of learning where it matters most. Through JoinUp, that evidence connects seamlessly with the wider Juniper ecosystem, including the free Juniper MIS, the Juniper Education App and Comms Hub, giving teachers, leaders and parents the right information, to the right person, at the right time.
