Agenda
Interview questions
Confidentiality and good manners.

We discussed all the qualities we were looking for in our new head teacher. Then we thought about what questions we needed to ask the candidates to find out if they were suitable. We created a list of our favourite questions and discussed what would be good /not so good responses.
We talked about how the interviews should be conducted and how important it is to be polite and respectful and not to talk about the process after the interviews.

Ronnie thanked everyone for coming.
Next meeting....Agree on pairings and practise questioning.

Interview with Mrs Brown.

Each class contributed the three most important qualities their class had decided upon. After some discussion we agreed on the following wishlist.
Someone who...........

·         Is fun and can make our learning fun

·         Listens, respects and values everyone and their opinions

·         Is a good communicator/teacher

·         Is trustworthy. Someone we can rely on to care about us and our school

·         Challenges and inspires us, but is also supportive

·         Is a good technician, musical, arty and creative

·         Is able to manage behaviour, but not too strict

·         Will organise exciting whole school activities

·         Is sporty

Spends money wisely

We then invited Mrs Brown to consider our thoughts and add what she felt was important. She said that first and foremost you must love working with children and their families. A knowledge and understanding of the law, health and safety, up to date curriculum and assessment recommendations are also essential. She felt a clear vision, and the Christian values of service courage, perseverance, hope humility etc underpin making the school successful.
 Good I.T.skills and a sense of humour also help!
