I also explain what you might find out about a school from some of these questions and what benefit of asking them might be for you. As part of this resource, I also make suggestions for ‘top tips’ to get a feel for the school during your visit and how to make sure you school is a good fit for you. This is a great resource for new and experienced staff considering applications to new schools or those who have secured interviews and want to find out more about their prospective new employer.

SENDCo SENCo SEN Special Education Support | Example Supporting Application Covering Letter 2

(0)
This resource is a second example application letter for the position of SENCo in a secondary school. This letter should be developed by including your own examples of where you have completed the points referenced and the impact of that work as well as your learning from the work you have completed. This letter is for guidance only and should not used exclusively to apply for a SENCo role but instead used to support the writing of your own letter. Letters should always be tailored to the school you are applying to and your own experiences. This template is 2 pages long. This resource is aimed a secondary school SENCo role, but could provide ideas for other stages of education also. Please note: covering letters should not exceed 2 pages in length. I never recommend sending blanket templates for prospective roles and always advise an application is tailored to you and the school.

5 Big Pastoral Questions and their Answers - Set 2 - Interview Prep - Head of Year Development

This PDF includes 5 key questions asked on pastoral interview and their answers in detail. These are intended to support existing or new heads of year as well as being potential questions you may get asked on interview. In this set I answer: how would you maintain positive parent relationships? what would you do for high ability students? how important is the role of FT? how would you deal with a failing tutor? how would you target bullying? These answers are suggestions – they are not necessarily definitive. If preparing for interview, I always recommend you tailor your questions to the school you’re applying to and ensure you are giving specific examples of what you’re able to offer. If in post, always remember the policies of your school. You can find set 1 here: www.tes.com/teaching-resource/resource-12348129 Please follow on facebook at: facebook.com/teachcoach
