End of interview questions...are these acceptable?

[Watercress99]

My usual questions are:

What does your NQT induction consist of
What CPD do you offer to NQT’s

Are these acceptable or should I stop asking stuff like that

NQTs are ECTs from September, and the induction is a statutory programme plus statutory mentoring.
How about asking about training opportunities and career progression beyond the two ECT years, or asking if there would be an opportunity to get involved with extracurricular activities that link to a hobby of yours?

Yrs, those questions suggest you are not at all up to date or aware of how induction will happen for you. Have you not been told about the Early Career Framework and the two year induction programme that starts in September (although a lot of school took part in early roll-out and trialled the approach over the last two years)? It is part of the biggest shake-up aimed at improving recruitment and retention in teaching for decades.
@user1471539385 has good suggestions, or you could ask about getting involved in productions or DofE, maybe, assuming that would interest you. Or whether there will be other newly qualified teachers in the school you will go through the ECF programme with?

I would echo user's good advice.

The other thing to consider is that unless there is something you really want to know, such as what User mentioned, then you don't have to ask anything. I've been in situations where I've asked questions through the day or on the tour, and have had nothing further to ask. In those situations I've said "actually I think my questions have been answered as we've gone through the day thank you".

If a place cannot deal with two perfectly innocent questions then they can F off.
I’d also ask duties, how they approach diversity in their curriculum, cover policy, number of free periods, etc

You're a charmer, aren't you?

Crikey. Bit harsh?!

That would sound as if you are interviewing them, @LadyDarkness

I would agree with Lola. ‘I don’t think there’s anything I need to ask - thank you!’

Maybe, but this is a place you’re going to work in for years... I’d be weary to work with anyone who’s unwilling to answer those questions or doesn’t know the answers. They are getting a professional and they want to make sure they are a good fit. Why foster the culture of being silent and too scared to ask. I’d alarm rater employ a teacher who is aware of how my school works and not someone who just nods, accepts the job without asking questions and they finds themselves unhappy because they don’t like something they didn’t equate about. But that’s just me. I asked and I’m happy with my school and my team. Each to their own.

You should only ask questions if the answer will affect whether you would accept the job or not if offered it. All other questions can wait.

You are interviewing them, in a way!
