The Professional Interview Panel takes place after the participant has successfully completed the reflective commentary and portfolio. The participant will be invited by the GTCS to attend for interview.  The assessment panel at the GTCS will consist of a GTCS member as chairperson, a headteacher from both primary and secondary sectors and a representative from a local education authority.  The field assessor and an official from the GTCS are also in attendance as observers.  The participant makes a short presentation which is followed by questions which focus entirely on section 4.3 of the Standard for Headship – Personal qualities and interpersonal skills.  Successful participants at professional interview will be considered to have met the Standard for Headship in full.
