My interview outfit is a suit I bought in the sales two years ago. I hope it will be OK I’m really looking forward to having my own classroom where I can make history come alive.

I’m nervous about wearing my funky shoes. I’d hate to be the sad individual they giggle and laugh at.

I would like to work in South Wales in a school with strong views .

I’ll probably work in a shoe shop until someone gives me a chance to show off my teaching abilities.
