Lead Practitioner Interview

[Chellez]

I have an interview for a lead practitioner post coming up. It is advertised as partly subject specific, with some whole school responsibilities.

I haven't done the role before, so am wondering if others could share experiences of types of questions that come up? Will I need to think more about what I've done so far, or ideas for what I'd do if appointed?

I just had a lead practitioner job for early years and a few of my questions were

What's your proudest professional moment

Explain a time you had to explain to unhappy parent why and how you had to follow a certain policy

Explain what you would do if you witness poor professional conduct from a colleague you are managing

Explain how you have followed safeguarding policy recently

Then if was more role specific explain how you will develop the curriculum for the new classes youre managing but not reaching In

I had 25 questions and these were the ones I most remember a few were like why this role at this school, explain your management style, explain how you will fulfil your role with colleagues that may have been unsuccessful if this interview as well.

Secondary?

Mine was teach a lesson, rip apart a scheme of work, interview, tour. Much like a teaching interview in that respect, just more detail needed on whole-school leadership to date.

Reasonably simple.
