Random thread

Something that's bothered me for a while, the Standard SNA application form.

Always used standard forms only (for teachers/SNAs), no cv.

But the quality of the SNA form is poor imo. Feels like it represents a lack of value of the role?

Comparing Teacher form&SNA form

Same:
Both go through qualifications, experience & CPD
Both finish with an any additional information box

#2

Teachers are asked two further questions. The boxes where you can sell yourself

How can your experience/skills assist in this particular post?
How can you contribute to the ethos&success of this particular school

#3

So, my main question, why aren't the same questions just as relevant to SNAs?

Why can't they reference how they can help in this post? Are their contributions to ethos and success of the school not equally important?

#4

Instead SNAs are asked one question

What is the role of an SNA?

A question that makes it difficult for everyone not to just give the "official" answer.

That's it, nothing further about the school or role.

Now this could be a random pet peeve& everyone else is like "eh, it's grand like" so would love thoughts on it. Especially from SNAs.

I've no idea how these forms were designed. Maybe that's what was wanted.

General thoughts on SAFs welcome too
