1Question

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

When I started a long-term supply role at a Halifax primary school, I discovered their Year 4 class was 3 weeks behind in their maths curriculum due to staff absence. I quickly reviewed their assessment data and identified that 12 pupils were struggling with fractions. I redesigned the next 2 weeks of lessons using hands-on manipulatives and visual aids, creating differentiated worksheets for 3 ability groups. I also established a consistent behaviour management system using their existing reward charts. By half-term, the class had caught up with the curriculum and 10 of the 12 struggling pupils achieved their target grades in the end-of-unit assessment.
2Question

Describe how you handle challenging behaviour in the classroom

During a supply placement, I encountered a Year 6 pupil who was disrupting lessons by calling out and refusing to complete work. I first spoke privately with the pupil to understand their concerns, discovering they felt the work was too difficult. I implemented a stepped approach: clear expectations explained at lesson start, positive reinforcement for on-task behaviour, and differentiated tasks matching their ability level. I also used proximity praise, acknowledging good choices from nearby pupils. Within 3 days, the pupil's disruptions reduced by 80% and they began completing tasks independently. I maintained communication with their class teacher to ensure consistency across all lessons.
