Be honestly passionate about the role as it is incredibly important to be able to cope with the pressures of the position considering the lack of money offered. Demonstrate past relevant experiences and dedication (work with children, leadership roles, charity work etc)

Take time to think through your answers - the interview is quite long (about an hour) so there is more time to get to know you and ensure you are right for the position. Some questions asked - what school was like for you? what charity work have you done? have you ever led a team? what would team members say were your best/worst leadership qualities? how do you deal with conflict? how would you deal with disciplining children?

Also, a question that I found a bit tricky: if you have experience with children or young people, they might ask you to describe a time when a child was getting on your nerves, and what you did about the situation.
