[cathshuck]

hi I have been asked to apply for a job teaching y3/4at my sons school. I've been at my current school since an nqt 6 years ok so could really do with some help about how to structure the letter and personal statement please! X

I think you have to look at the job description in the application form and think what the school is looking for when writing your covering letter and filling out your application form.

For example if they want someone with strong organisational skills you need to include in your letter an example that shows you have strong organisational skills.

Schools are strange in that if you are offered the job you have to decide very quickly. Its worth doing a pre application visit to see what the school is like.
