Interview at boarding school - what should I ask?

[Lollylovesbones]

I've always worked in the state sector but I've got an interview next week for a Head of Department at a boarding school. Is there anything I should specifically ask or be aware of.

Do you have lessons on Saturday mornings?
Is accommodation provided?
What evening and weekend duties will I be expected to do?

I think I would be mostly trying to gauge the atmosphere as presumably you will be with these people pretty much 24/7. Do they seem happy, friendly, as if they are enjoying being there and I apply that to both staff and students. I am also always interested as to how many internal candidates there are. Best of Luck.

Don't ask any question that is easily answered by reading their website, eg Saturday classes.

How did you get on?
