I'm interested in applying for a vacancy at a secondary school which has an 'innovative' structure to the school timetable. At least this is as much as I can gleen from their website.
I called to ask if I could have more information on this, and suggested a sample pupil timetable which would have answered the questions I have. Unfortunately they can't do this but have offered me the opportunity to visit the school and meet with the HOD before applying.
Which is great but I feel like I've volunteered myself for a preliminary interview...eek.
What do I wear. I'm thinking not interview suit...perhaps skirt nice top ans jersey blazer...on the smart end of my normal teaching wardrobe.
But what questions do I ask. I obviously want to get good value from my visit and make the time they are giving up for me valued. I will obviously ask the questions that prompted me to call them, but need to have some more in the bag...but also leave some in reserve, hopefully for formal interview.
I'm an NQT and this will only (potentiially) be my second interview so don't have a huge bank of questions. Any suggestions would be gratefully recieved.

I'm visiting a school next week prior to interview. What do I wear? What questions do I ask?
