About Durham Schools Together
Coxhoe Primary School is an outstanding school as rated by Ofsted and we are proud to be the lead school for Durham Schools Together. As a lead school, we work collaboratively with a further 4 strategic schools who are highly committed to providing and delivering a wide range of high quality, bespoke and innovative training. You will be part of a team from the very start where you will receive intensive support from experienced mentors and teachers. Throughout the course, you will be provided with a balance of university input where you can learn the pedagogy of teaching as well as extensive hands-on experience in schools where you will learn theory through your placements.
Interview Process
After receiving applications, successful applicants will be invited to interview. Invitations are sent via Dfe Apply and the email provided on your application. The selection criteria will be based on personal attributes and experience across the primary age range. During the selection day candidates are required to deliver a short guided reading lesson to a small group of children, complete a written task and take part in various discussion tasks. This will be followed by interview questions. Head teachers and school mentors from our lead school and associated schools will carry out the selection procedure. We aim to ensure that selection days are calm and allow you to have a positive experience. The quotes below are from some of our past students who took part in the selection day: ‘I was, understandably, quite nervous leading up to my interview, however the staff were so welcoming and I was immediately made to feel at ease. I found the interview itself rather enjoyable and would definitely recommend the school and staff alike - such a lovely atmosphere.’
