AS if interviews are not nerve-wracking enough... candidates for the vacant deputy head teacher's job at Poppleton Road Primary School, Holgate, York, will be grilled by the pupils themselves.
The whole school has come up with suitable questions for members of the School Council to ask.
They include:
How many teeth does a shark have?
What will you do in school assemblies?
What is your favourite book?
Candidates will be given a score out of ten by interviewers. Pupil Robbie Ward, who is chairman of the School Council will feed back the results to head teacher Sue Eland.
She said: "Democracy rules in our school. We believe that children should have ownership in making decisions and taking part. It's part of our work on citizenship."
