This is the free sample of the resource available here: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/21-example-interview-questions-and-answers-12252012 This sample document covers 4 questions that may be asked during a UK primary teaching interview. If you’d like the full version, please click the link above. I prepared this document when I was job hunting for primary NQT positions. I found it to be very useful as I began to build up a bank of questions and answers. I learned that all the questions can interlink with each other, and that all questions require an example from your experience, as well as always linking back to pupil progress. I hope you find the sample useful. Please note I created this resource before the Covid-19 pandemic, so its possible schools are now asking about remote education and how covid has affected schools and children’s education.

I prepared this document whilst job hunting for my first teaching position in a primary school. The document covers 21 different interview questions and their respective answers. This might be especially useful of NQTs/ECTs, as you might be looking for an idea of the type of questions to expect and the types of answers they are looking for. This should not be used as a script as you will need to also use your own examples from your experience in schools. The document is aimed at giving you a starting point for your own ideas and schools change their questions all the time, so it can’t be guaranteed that all questions are on this list, but the main themes may remain the same. The document is aimed at primary school teaching interviews in the UK, so if you’re in secondary or looking at international schools, I’m not sure how useful it’ll be. This resource was originally first created before Covid, so please bare in mind there may be questions about how the pandemic has affected education.
