Eleven plus invigilator and markers

[chrissyt80]

Hi
Can someone tell me who invigilates and marks the eleven plus and whether you can apply to do either of these jobs?

Many thanks

North Yorks advertised a few years ago for invigilators ... I applied as had done invigilating before, but in the end couldn't get to the training sessions so didn't take the application any further. Haven't seen any adverts recently - presume they have a back of people. DD recognises a lady locally who invigilated - think she is a retired teacher

They did advertise again this year Hermann, you must have missed it

It's something I've fancided doing, but I'm too tied unfortunately

Keep a look out in your local job centre (about June/July time I think ours were advertised) and also on your County Council website where they advertise jobs.

I think that in Kent schools (in county) swap headteachers who then invigilate at the other school.

Sounds sensible - I seem to remember that North Yorks required training / another CRB (despite already got one) - thinking about it the advert was brought to my attention via the parents' association

That is what happened at our school in Kent this year.
