And its advice .lol
As long as youre not correcting the homework.
If its a job youve done then ask a few details see if they have a similar working method.Who would you be working with etc.
They may want to or even need to do a crb check, as im not knowledgeable on that i cant say.
ask about holidays and working conditions etc.and the lenght of contract .is it a fulltime job or a short term contract?
hope those ideas maybe helped.
best of luck

Hi Peebee
You could try asking about their policies and procedures if they don't tell you about them in your interview ofcourse. Where the confidential files are kept and who should have access to them (would you need to? when & for what?)
You could ask about what happens when situations arise with parents and what the procedure is for handling such things as you will be their first port of call.
Ask about the structure of the day, assemblies, lunchtime if you need to undertake any other duties (such as staying later at school on parents evening or when end of year reports go out.
You would need to be good with money and figures and organising in what could be somewhat chaotic conditions (monday morning when 200+pupils dinner money is thrown at you along with school trip money etc and it all has to be banked by 11am! that kind of thing) So sell yourself if your really good at being the above.
You will definatley have to have a CRB check.
Good Luck for tomorrow :o)

don't feel obliged to ask a question - you can just answer the "Do you have any questions?" with
"not at the moment, thank you, the information pack you sent to me pretty much covered all I wanted to know"
I have been on lots of interview panels and a question from you at the end won't make a jot of difference. It's just a final courtesy to the interviewee and you will already have made an impression answering the panel's questions!
If you feel you really want to ask a question ask something general that has a yes or no answer so the interview panel doesn't have to think e.g.
willl there be opportunities for training?
will there be an opportunity to accompany school trips?
Also if you think you didn't explain something properly during the interview you could say
"not at the moment, thank you, but could I just add that although I said .......I meant....."
good luck for tomorrow anyway
