There needs to be clear objectives of the benefit to student and staff of mass interviews or we need to have the process clear and all work together.

If interview takes place before prospective student has their GCSE results then they will need to bring in a statement of their predicted grades from school in order for them to be signposted accordingly- if we just ask them what their predicted grades are we could get told a set of grades which is unrealistic and then offer a place to someone who has no chance of actually getting on the course and include them in projected numbers.

Is this to help sort students into the most appropriate course directions or is it to reject students who we know won't succeed before they've even started?

Considering the number of students who decide to come here AFTER getting their GCSE results I think to interview all students in the approx 1 week window between GCSE results and start of term is unrealistic.

If you plan to interview in advance we will need back up from careers/other departments in college to provide advice on alternative courses for those we turn down.

Need to question the student about their attitude towards exams and essay writing vs. large amount of coursework. if they have a history of not liking exams but want to do exam based subjects then there's a problem. Same in regards to future HE/career options - do they know A Levels isn't the only route to access these.

In principle - well and good but how will this work in terms of time?

This will need clear and enforcable guidelines on what to do with students who don't meet the interview criteria otherwise it sounds like a monumental waste of everyone's time.

Could students be interviewed at enrolment? They go to a desk for each subject and get their forms signed by that teacher, once all are signed off they continue to enrol. We could invite students to time slots dependent on subjects to minimise on staff sitting around doing nothing/one member of staff could cover 2-3 subjects

It has been mentioned previously but I think there needs to be a clear system in place regarding references for students who are borderline/have already sat AS levels etc. It should really help to weed out the students who are not appropriate.

We use this form for interviews for access - it may be largely inappropriate but could be useful if you want to adapt it :)

Will there be an option to decline students - (i.e. turn down a student if not felt to be suitable, even if they meet the advertised entry requirements?)  If not I would question how much time would be spent for  potentially little 'reward'.

Group interviews are common in retail workplaces - placing all the candidates in groups and giving them tasks identifies people who lead and follow as well as those who refuse to involve themselves at all. It's not great for shy and introverted people but can help you spot potential troublemakers.

We need a session informing us about other course options in the college so that we can signpost students or make them aware of other options if the students are clearly not suitable at the interview stage.
