    {
      "q": "Is this a fixed-term or open-ended contract?",

    },
    {
      "q": "I'm serving notice — should I still apply?",

      "a": "A ready template with subject line, three-paragraph structure and attachment checklist (with a \"Head of School — Vasavi Vidyalaya\" subject-line example) is in the guide: /guides/teacher-application-letter."
    },
    {
      "q": "How long does it take to hear back after applying?",
      "a": "Most schools review applications within 5–10 working days. If you don't hear back in two weeks, the role has usually been filled or paused — keep applying to similar openings in the meantime."
    },

      "q": "When does the school want the joining date to be?",
      "a": "Most school roles aim for a joining around the start of the next academic month or term. Once shortlisted, the school will agree a realistic date based on your notice period."
