Hopefully! I think i just let nerves take over for the maths tbh. The interview is totally fine so don't stress about it. They are more personal so your answers will come natural to you x

Oh that's quite good, I've been trying to look up issues within education because i don't want to get caught out by being asked about a topic I don't know about, but I have a lot experience working with children so think I need to remember to focus on that too. However my children & my employer are not helping me much in getting time to prepare tbh!

I haven't received any feedback yet but I know I definitely slipped up on the question about the differences between foundation level and key stage 1! I just wasn't prepared for that kind of question -it was a real curve ball! Also really struggled with the essay question. But all of the interview experience was really good to get :smile:

Oh god I am dreading getting a letter now. I def messed the maths up. Really wish they would just tell you on the day if it's a definite you didn't get a place. Sorry to those who've got their letter. Not a nice feeling whether you were expecting it or not x

Anyone else heard anything? Was hoping some had maybe been accepted? xo

No I don't think so! They have to interview everyone before they can offer places because there is a waiting list as well, and people are being interviewed in March so it will be the end of March I would say before anyone gets accepted! x

I had my literacy/numeracy/interview on Monday there. Found the tests fine but felt like I answered really badly in the interview :frown:

was extremely disappointed with the questions & felt like a couple of them were a bit of a waste of time! Like "Tell us an interesting fact about yourself?" Erm, how is that useful? I was given a letter saying I'd hear mid-end of April which I assume everyone was handed at the end of their interview. What about you?

Hello cmca86 that sounds like a tough question to answer? Where do you even start with something like that!!!? What other questions did they ask you? And what type of things did you have to do for literacy and numeracy?

I have put it off for long enough (terrified at the prospect of telling a story to a panel of three adults!) But I plan on applying next year so any help or pointers would be appreciated!

Thanks
