It is offered as an approach to assist Coordinators in collecting JCSP student data within their school. Initially, you will need to download it, save it to your school platform before sharing it with teachers in your school. Each sheet will be a complete record for an academic year containing three tabs, one each for 1st, 2nd and 3rd year. Subject to Coordinator feedback and any amendments to be made, we would hope to issue a new sheet every year.
