1Question

Tell me about a time you managed challenging behaviour in a KS2 classroom

During a Year 4 placement, I encountered a pupil who frequently disrupted lessons through calling out and leaving his seat. I implemented a positive behaviour system where he earned points for following class rules, with a reward chart visible to all pupils. I also spoke privately with him to understand his triggers, discovering he struggled with the pace of maths lessons. I provided him with additional visual aids and shorter task segments. Within 3 weeks, his disruptive behaviour reduced by 80% and his maths confidence improved significantly, with other pupils also benefiting from the clearer structure I had introduced.
2Question

Describe how you built a positive relationship with a difficult pupil

I worked with a Year 5 pupil who was withdrawn and reluctant to participate in lessons following family difficulties. I made time each morning to have a brief, informal chat about her interests, discovering she loved creative writing. I incorporated her story ideas into literacy lessons and asked her to help younger pupils with their writing during break times. I also liaised sensitively with her class teacher about providing consistent support. Over 6 weeks, she began volunteering answers in class and her written work improved dramatically. Her confidence grew to the point where she presented her story to the whole class, receiving enthusiastic applause from her peers.
