Top Interview Tips for Education Roles
With interviews in full swing, here are 5 practical tips to help candidates stand out—whether you're jumping on Zoom or heading to school in person:
1. Know the School’s Ethos 🔍 Research their values, Ofsted reports & curriculum focus. Align your answers with their vision.
2. Show Your Impact 📈 Share real-life examples—how have you improved outcomes, managed behaviour, or adapted lessons?
3. Stay Current 📰 Keep up with trends: Ofsted updates, SEND reforms, curriculum changes. Show you’re engaged.
4. Be Scenario-Ready 🎭 Practice safeguarding or behaviour-management scenarios using the STAR method (Situation, Task, Action, Result).
5. Ask Smart Questions 🤔 Think CPD, team collaboration, or pastoral care. Show you're invested in their school community.
