15 Big Pastoral Questions and their Answers Series - 5 Big Questions Series - Interview Prep Guidance - Head of Year - Head of House

In these three PDFs, I answer 15 big pastoral questions.

These are intended to support existing or new heads of year as well as being potential questions you may get asked on interview.

This set includes questions like:

how do you create year group cohesion?
why are assemblies important?
what is included in a successful form time?
why is monitoring attendance important?
how do you improve the resilience of your year group?
what should you do with your failing FT?
why are form tutors important?
how do you deal with an angry parent?
how do you lead a team?

The answers to these questions are suggestions only – 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.
