Heads Together: Staffing Training 2

I attended a Heads Together training course on staffing. The second part was about applying for headship. Here is a summary of what I learned.

Don't apply for just anything - make sure it's a job in a school that you really want!
Write to the job specification.
Your application letter should be no more than three sides of A4.

The interview will last for two or three days.
Part 1:
Takes place in the school. It may involve giving an assembly, teaching a lesson, a staff lunch, group discussions, school council interview.
Part 2:
Usually takes place in a neutral venue. It may involve delivering a seen presentation possibly about what will the school be like in x amount of time, an unseen presentation, probably related to prioritising issues or Ofsted criteria, and an interview.
