1Question

Tell me about a time you had to quickly adapt to a new school environment

I was called for an emergency supply role at a Bradford primary school with just 2 hours' notice. The Year 4 class had been without their teacher for 3 days and pupils were unsettled. I arrived early to review the lesson plans and classroom layout. I introduced myself with an engaging morning activity, established clear expectations, and used positive reinforcement throughout the day. By lunch, the teaching assistant commented that the class was calmer than they'd been all week. The headteacher asked me to return for the remainder of the week, and I successfully maintained continuity in their learning whilst building positive relationships with all 28 pupils.
2Question

Describe how you handle challenging behaviour from pupils you don't know

During a supply placement at a Bradford secondary school, I encountered a Year 9 class with several disruptive pupils who were testing boundaries. I quickly identified the key influencers and used proximity and quiet redirection rather than confrontation. I implemented the school's behaviour policy consistently, giving clear warnings and following through with consequences. I also found opportunities to praise positive behaviour publicly. By the third lesson, I'd established mutual respect with the challenging pupils. One student who'd been particularly difficult approached me after class to apologise and engage positively. The class teacher later noted a 40% reduction in behaviour incidents during my 2-week placement.
