@ dover2013 and grdwdgrrrl

Thanks for the encouraging posts -

The message seems pretty clear.....apply apply apply.... :lol:

And develop a thick skin for all the rejection letters.... its nothing personal 8)

I never imagined that it would be so competitive - I guess it means that there must be a reason why so many people apply! it must be worth the perseverance! :D

@ Sid

Having read the forum we were beginning to come to that conclusion ourselves so thanks for the clarity :)

Would lowering our expectation greatly increase our chances or is the competition for these positions as fierce?

Is there not such a shortage of maths teachers internationally as there seems to be in the UK?

We are pretty flexible as to country our main concern (like everybody else of course) would be a school that our children would settle reasonably easily.

Regards

Having read the forums and reviews on the main site we would like a bit more advice please! My husband is a secondary maths teacher, teaching up to A level in a selective school with additional teaching and learning responsibility. In september he will have had 3 years experience post qualification.What is the chance with 2 children and a non teaching spouse of him getting into a top tier school? Are we being unrealistic? We are quite open to different parts of the world as long as its safe for the children of course. Any advice would be much appreciated. :roll:
