Last Friday I went to look around a school and absolutly fell in love with the place! The head had me sold the second she explained how she wants to develop a forest school and that a brand new classoom is about to be built. Thing is I really don't want to fall at the first Hurdle but she has asked 'Please tell us about yourself, your strengths and interests, amd why you were attracted yo our school' and well I don't know how formal / formal she wants me to be and how to say strengths but without sounding too - well you know! Any advice would be appreciated as I have spent the last 5 years dreaming of a job like this Thanks so much
