After an initial screening process if your application is successful you will be invited for a first interview during March/April.

If you are successful in this interview, your application will be circulated to all appropriate schools in the Borough who have suitable vacancies for you matching your strengths and Key Stage preference.
Schools who are interested in your application will then contact you with details of the specific posts they have, and invite you to a second interview. You will have the opportunity to choose which school you work in within the Borough, we don’t choose for you.
