I might have an opportunity of a job in an independent school. They offer lots of professional development and I liked the atmosphere there, it seemed a happy, relaxed school. They also have a good reputation and results above national level (so one would hope!).
The hours are longer than in state school, and it would impact somewhat on my DCs, who have been used to having me as a stay at home parent for many years.
I really want to get back in to teaching, work towards QTS etc.
I have a slight issue with private schools in terms of personal principles etc..
I don't know what to do!
Could I use it as an opportunity to get some good experience on my CV, and then move to a state school?
Ultimately I really want to work in a state school - I am sure this is something that will never change.
Would state schools look favourably at a teacher coming from the private sector, or is there a bit less kudos attached to it?
I'd really welcome all perspectives!!!
