CONGRATZ ![s]x Am still waiting for a reply send my ucas late November :frown:

if you don't mind me asking what were your predicted grades :smile:

The sort of questions you'll be asked are ....

Why do you think you'd make a good teacher?
What experience do you have of working with children?
Give me an example of when you ...... (controlled children, came up with a lesson idea etc)
Explain how you would introduce the idea of XXX to a group of KS1 children.
Why Leeds Trinity (ie. what does this Uni offer that the others dont)?
Etc.

You may get asked about current issues in education - so do some reading-up on stuff on the education pages of newspapers like The Guardian, Daily Telegraph, Independent (all online). Example - http://www.independent.co.uk/news/education/education-news/michael-goves-new-maths-curriculum-risks-damaging-pupils-by-introducing-them-to-multiplication-and-division-years-too-early-says-report-9042286.html

Good Luck!
