Junior Certificate School Programme

The Junior Certificate Schools Programme (JCSP) is a national programme sponsored by the Department of Education and Skills and its aim is to support Junior Certificate students in their education. The JCSP is not an alternative to the Junior Certificate. It is a framework that is designed to help schools and teachers develop an imaginative approach to teaching and learning. All the students in the Programme must be entered for the Junior Certificate examination. The initiatives and supports funded by JCSP may be offered to specific classes, targeted students or on occasion the whole year group. The exact programme will vary each academic year but will contain the following:

  • Literacy and Numeracy Initiatives
  • Subject Statements and Cross Curricular Statements
  • Recording Achievements, Profiling and Certification
  • Rewards and Celebrations

Students cannot fail JCSP. It is an intervention based on the concept that all students are capable of success.
