What is the leave policy?
Schools usually offer 10–18 leaves per year on top of public/school holidays. Earned-leave encashment policies vary — check the offer letter.

Interview questions & answers for Wing Head - Middle
Common questions Indian schools ask for Wing Head - Middle roles in Patiala (CBSE panel) — with a short sample answer for each so you can walk in prepared.
1. Why do you want to work at DAV Centenary Public School?
Show you've done the homework: reference the CBSE curriculum, the Patiala campus, and one specific programme or value from their website. Tie it to what you bring — pedagogy, subject expertise or a co-curricular strength.
2. What experience is most relevant to a Wing Head - Middle role at a school?
Lead with prior school or education-sector experience if you have it. If not, translate transferable skills (safeguarding awareness, working with minors, compliance, shift discipline) into school-specific scenarios — DAV Centenary Public School wants to picture you on day one.
3. How should I discuss my notice period and joining date?
Be upfront and specific: last working day at current school, earliest realistic joining date, and any flexibility (early release, unpaid leave). Schools plan around academic calendars — a clear date wins over vague "as soon as possible".
4. What is your greatest strength and weakness as an educator?
Pick a strength tied to student outcomes with one metric or story. For weakness, name a real one, follow it with the concrete steps you're taking (workshop, mentor, changed practice) — panels reject rehearsed non-answers like "I work too hard".
5. What questions should I ask at the end?
Ask three: one about the team (department size, coordinator style), one about growth (PD budget, appraisal cadence), and one about the school (a specific programme). Avoid opening with leave/salary questions unless the panel invites them.
6. Tell me about yourself — how should I frame my self-introduction?
Keep it 60-90 seconds: start with your name and current role, then two or three highlights that map to the Wing Head - Middle brief (qualifications, subject/level, standout achievement), and close with why DAV Centenary Public School in particular. Avoid your personal life — schools evaluate structure and clarity here.
