Lesson observation, behaviour management, KS1 to KS5 teaching interview practice.
Teaching interviews are practical and conversational. UK primary and secondary posts typically combine a lesson observation, a panel interview, and a written task. The panel rounds probe behaviour management, differentiation, safeguarding awareness, and how you adapt instruction for SEN pupils. Senior posts (head of department, deputy head) add leadership scenarios and curriculum design questions.
Each interview here is a 20 to 30 minute live conversation modelled on real teaching panel patterns. The interviewer probes for specific examples from your classroom rather than generic pedagogy and follows up when an answer drifts into theory without practice. After your session, the scorecard separates pedagogical reasoning, behaviour management, and safeguarding awareness so you know which surface to invest more practice on.
