PGCE interview at Northumbria

Hi, I’m a postgraduate and have applied to study a PGCE in primary at Northumbria. Is there anyone else here who’s done this and can give me some more info and experiences on it?
Thank you :smile:

I interviewed at a couple of schools for SCITT who use Northumbria as their training provider - both asked almost identical questions so I'd assume they might have a set that they use. Here are some examples:
(After an activity involving children)

What went well?

How could the activity be scaled up to whole class?
GENERAL

Why do you want to teach?

Why have you chosen SCITT / University route?

What makes a good math lesson?

Using the beach as a topic, how could you teach a wide range of subjects?

Give examples of:

time you've showed resillience

time you acted on feedback

How will you manage workload?

What is your understanding of safeguarding in schools?

Have you any training / experience of safeguarding?

What would you do if a parent added you on social media?

Do you think it's important that teachers are up to date on educational theory?
