PGCE Primary 5-11 years. Had my interview at Derby back in December but we were told that they wouldn't make a decision until they have done interviews in January. Apparently if you are applied by initial deadline (beginning of December I think) they have to let you know by 20th I think it is so that it can go to second choice. I'm not holding out much hope as I didn't do too well in the science test, although did get 100% in maths and passed the english as well but they were telling us how many people had applied and how we were lucky to get an interview. I just feel like i've waited for ages now and if they don't hurry up then the places at my 2nd choice will be full.

Right picked DD up and snacks eaten so off to cook my potatoes, veg and yorkshire puds to go with my chicken.

Good luck for next week. One thing I would say was that my interview was nowhere near as scary as I was expecting, everyone was so friendly

Scatty- I've done that mission so many tmes but it makes no dfference at all, just room for me to hide more stuff Not bothering for another year.
