1Question

Tell me about a time when you had to adapt your teaching approach for a struggling student

Situation: I had a Year 4 student who was consistently struggling with multiplication tables, falling behind the class average by 6 weeks. Task: I needed to help him catch up without disrupting the learning of other students. Action: I created a personalised learning plan using visual aids and hands-on manipulatives, dedicating 15 minutes daily to one-to-one support during independent work time. I also introduced peer tutoring where stronger students helped during partner activities. Result: Within 8 weeks, the student improved his multiplication test scores from 3/10 to 8/10, and his confidence increased significantly as evidenced by his willingness to participate in class discussions.
2Question

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

Situation: Our Year 4 cohort of 84 students was underperforming in writing compared to national averages, with only 65% meeting expected standards. Task: As part of the Key Stage 2 team, I needed to work with 2 other Year 4 teachers to improve writing outcomes. Action: We established weekly planning meetings to share successful strategies, created a bank of 20 writing prompts linked to our topic work, and implemented peer assessment techniques across all three classes. We also coordinated parent workshops to support home learning. Result: By the end of the academic year, 78% of students met expected writing standards, representing a 13% improvement, and parent engagement in writing activities increased by 40%.
