A formal interview will take place with a panel comprising of the Headteacher, an Assistant Headteacher and the PE Subject Leader and will last approximately thirty minutes. Candidates will also be expected to provide a thirty minute PE activity to a mixed ability Year 3 group.

Garlinge Primary School and Nursery is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people, and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.
