On receiving your application at Primary Advantage we will review and invite suitable candidates to an interview in person in one of our schools in Hackney. Full details of the interview process will be given at the time.
We hope our thorough interview experience will give you a good insight into our schools to help you make your decision, as well as giving us a good rounded opportunity to see your skills and abilities.
If successful at this interview we will recommend you to our university partners for a place on the programme. They will check your eligibility and suitability and they will make the final decision and offer.
Initial interviews are held in person at one of our schools in Hackney and comprise information about our schools and what it is like to train with us, an activity or presentation which you can prepare in advance, an interview with our team and English and maths assessments via our partner universities. For the apprenticeship route, we may ask you to teach a short activity to a whole class,and a second stage interview will take place at London Metropolitan University.
In line with DFE Keeping Children Safe in Education (KCSIE) guidance our pre-interview checks include online searches into all shortlisted candidates. Please be aware at the point of being offered an interview you will be asked for your social media names.
