1Question

Tell me about a time you supported a struggling student in Geography

Situation: I had a Year 10 student who was failing Geography with 28% test scores and showing disengagement. Task: I needed to identify barriers and create targeted support. Action: I arranged weekly one-to-one sessions, broke down complex concepts into visual maps, and connected topics to his interest in football stadiums worldwide. I also liaised with his parents about home study strategies. Result: Over 8 weeks, his test scores improved to 67% and he chose Geography GCSE, later achieving grade 6.
2Question

Describe how you've collaborated with colleagues in a humanities department

Situation: Our humanities department needed to improve cross-curricular links and student engagement was declining. Task: I was asked to lead a collaborative project linking Geography with History and RE. Action: I organised weekly planning meetings with 4 colleagues, developed a 6-week module on migration patterns connecting geographical push-pull factors with historical events and cultural impacts. We shared resources and co-taught 3 lessons. Result: Student feedback scores increased by 31% and the project became a permanent curriculum feature, adopted by 2 other schools in our trust.
