Oh awesome! Where abouts are you from?
I sent my application a few weeks ago so I am still waiting to here back.
How long did it take for them to offer you an interview?

I'm from Scarborough, North-East of England. What about you? :smile:

I think it took around 2-3 weeks. But then my interview was only around a week after that!

And yey! No I haven't :/ maybe they will set one up closer to the time?

Gosh that's quite far, what made you choose lincoln?
I'm from spalding, near peterborough so I think I would commute if I got an offer!

Are you both at uni at the minute or?

Hi, I am currently waiting to hear back from Lincoln too. Sent my application three weeks ago and dying to hear back! Already had one unsuccessful and one interview which I didn't get. So this is my last choice! I'm from Bourne, Peterborough so would be commuting too :smile:

I've got a few friends from Bourne! Nice to know some others are planning on commuting too :smile:

Where else did you apply to?

Ah cool

Yeah i've been living in Lincoln for the past three years anyway as I am currently studying here! So I'm ready to move back home! I applied for Nottingham Trent. Got an unsuccessful in January as I 'didn't have enough experience'. But I have more that 25 full days experience as a teaching assistant. So i'm not sure what went on! My other choice was school direct in a school in Oakham. The interview was intense! Like crazy! Got an unsuccessful on the day with feedback being that I need to focus my attention on the whole group instead of individuals. So I'm dying to hear back from Lincoln! Need to know!! Where have you applied to? And for upper, lower or general primary?

Just heard back from Lincoln! I've got an interview 27th Feb, have you heard anything Lucy??

I've applied for upper and lower at Bishop, got both interviews on the same day - so I'm hoping they will just do it at the same time? And Anglia Ruskin, Peterborough Campus.

Nervous now ha

Thanks

yeah I'm soooo happy! Just worried already ha.
Did you apply for upper or lower? It may be a case of looking at one of them first and because I applied for both I heard first? I dunno, but don't worry I am sure you will get an interview too any day now!

I applied 27th Jan!
