• Read a story to the children in the same class.
• Formal interview questions.
• Written task.
• Fundamental skills audits in English and mathematics.
• Candidates attending interview for a SEND setting will spend time with a pupil panel answering questions.

If face-to-face interviews cannot take place due to Covid-19 the interview process will take place via Teams. Elements of the interview are:

• Read a story to the panel (as though they are your class of children).
• Formal interview questions.
• Written task.
• Fundamental skills audits in English and mathematics.
