      Teacher Interview

      10 Nov 2024
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Eton College in May 2023

      Interview

      Very long and drawn out, even more so than other boarding school interviews. Interview with HoD involved unnecessary questions about understanding of content and a grading activity. While I understand this may be necessary for new teachers or fresh grads, it is patronising for experienced teachers. In one interview with upper management, I was asked how I would respond to being asked to work excessive hours. I said it would depend on the level of excess: is it just being asked occasionally to work longer hours for a busy week, or is it accepting that this level of excessive hours is the norm? I responded with if it were the former, I would deal with it myself by managing my time appropriately. However if it were the latter, I would tell my line manager that this is unsustainable long-term. They clearly did not like my response to the question.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      why do you want to work there? why an independent school? how would you handle being asked to work excessive hours?

      Anonymous interview candidate

      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Eton College in Jun 2023

      Interview

      Firstly, I was longlisted and did one interview with the department. Following from this, I was shortlisted and then had four interviews with various members of the SLT and HR. Interview process was very friendly, albeit quite intense with the number of interviews required. However, that is to be expected for working in an educational environment.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Why do you specifically want to work in an independent school?
