Downloading the Pre-formatted Results Spreadsheet (International schools and UK schools not using EDI files)

You can download a copy of the GCSE Collection Spreadsheet from the Secondary+ website. You will need your school’s username and password to log in. Once you have logged in, select the Results Collection menu and follow the link to File Download.

Ensure that the correct UK Key Stage 4 (KS4) year is selected then tick the qualifications which you wish to include. You can select more than one if required. Save the spreadsheet to a location on your desktop or ‘My Documents’ folder before you start working on it.

Do not change the name of the file as this will stop the results file from processing correctly and will cause delays with your feedback.

When you have completed the spreadsheet you will need to save it, and upload it to the Secondary+ website. Once you have logged in, select the Results Collection menu and follow the link to File Upload. The upload facility will ask you to enter an email address so that a confirmation email can be sent to you once the files arrive with us.
