In terms of general interview questions, you're likely to be asked about:

-why you want to teach (including why your subject and stage)
-a safeguarding question
-something about current educational issues
-possibly something about managing workload.

In terms of subject knowledge, @ByEeek may be able to help, but it's useful to be familiar with the curriculum for your subject.

Make sure you know roughly what is on the curriculum. To be fair, there isn't much in the way of a computing curriculum, but at GCSE, it is this:

It might also be worth having a look at this:

Good luck!
