Hi. I have an interview coming up for a Teaching assistant post in a high school . It's primarily a role in the inclusion support team. Can anyone give any insight in to what they may ask me at the interview.

I have worked in this area, but not for a while. Also they have asked me to arrive at the school at 8.30. I can't imagine the interview will be that early, so I'm wondering if they have some sort of exercise planned, which I'm a bit concerned about!

Also, I'm aware that all holidays must be taken outside of term time, but we have a holiday that's been rolled over from last year that is in early May. We are going no matter what, so moot point really. but wondered if they would allow me to have that week unpaid.
Any pointers would be great.

I wouldn’t mention the booked holiday at the interview - only need to raise the issue it if you are offered the job.

Didn't go for the interview in the end! Couldn't handle the thought of being confined to school holidays for travelling😄 Had been offered another job anyway!
