I went for an interview for EYFS Coordinator today at 11.00am. I was the last to be interviewed. I rang at 4pm as I still hadn't heard anything and was told the Head had been on a course all afternoon and was now in a staff meeting. I asked could I be rung at home as I was now going home. It's now 7pm and still not heard. Do I give this one up as good experience? Do you think it's rude that they haven't rung me?

Has anyone done this or works in a Y1 or Y2 which has a play based curriculum? Help, the time scale isn't long! What are the priorities to work on first?

Hello I have an interview for a FS 1 full-time position on Thursday. I have been told to : 'Prepare a maths - problem solving activity that involves active engagement by the children'. I have also got to take 'Evidence of planning and sample outcomes'. In my panic, my mind has gone blank!! Regarding the planning - I will obviously take a lesson plan - but do you think they are asking me to take copies of my current PSRN (or any subject) plans? Feel exhausted already! I'm not planning to use a IWB - as I've got out of habit of using one (I moved to FS in Sept and we don't have one in our room). The letter says they are looking for a candidate who…
