1Question

Tell me about a time when you had to manage challenging behaviour in your classroom

Situation: I had a Year 4 pupil who was consistently disrupting lessons by calling out and refusing to follow instructions. Task: I needed to address this behaviour whilst maintaining a positive learning environment for the other 27 children. Action: I implemented a personalised behaviour chart with clear expectations, offered the pupil specific responsibilities like being class monitor, and arranged brief daily check-ins to discuss progress. I also collaborated with parents to ensure consistency between home and school. Result: Within 4 weeks, disruptive incidents reduced by 80%, and the pupil became one of my most engaged learners, even helping other children with their work.
2Question

Describe a situation where you collaborated with colleagues to improve pupil outcomes

Situation: Our Year 4 cohort was underperforming in mathematics, with only 65% meeting expected standards. Task: As part of the KS2 team, I needed to work with colleagues to develop an intervention strategy. Action: I collaborated with the Year 4 parallel teacher and maths coordinator to analyse pupil data, identify specific gaps in learning, and create targeted intervention groups. We shared resources, co-planned lessons focusing on problem-solving strategies, and implemented weekly progress reviews. Result: After one term of collaborative intervention, 89% of pupils achieved expected standards in mathematics, representing a 24% improvement in outcomes.
