Is accommodation provided?
Day schools generally don't provide accommodation. The school may help with referrals to nearby PGs or rentals during your relocation.

Section sizes typically range from 25 to 40 students. The school will confirm exact section size during the interview based on the grade you'll teach.

Interview questions & answers for Principal
Common questions Indian schools ask for Principal roles in Ananthapuramu (CBSE panel) — with a short sample answer for each so you can walk in prepared.
1. 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 Principal brief (qualifications, subject/level, standout achievement), and close with why Smt.eswaramma High School in particular. Avoid your personal life — schools evaluate structure and clarity here.
2. How well do I need to know the CBSE syllabus?
Panels will probe unit-level familiarity. Skim the current CBSE scheme of work for your subject and grade, memorise two chapter names you'd be strongest teaching, and be ready to walk through the assessment pattern (weightings, project component, exam duration).
3. How do you develop and mentor teachers on your team?
Describe a structured cycle: goal-setting → learning walks → post-observation coaching → one PD focus per term. Mention how you'd differentiate between an early-career teacher and a mid-career specialist — leaders are hired on their systems, not their opinions.
4. Walk me through your discipline framework.
Start with school-wide expectations (positive, visible, consistent), a tiered response ladder, a documented referral path, and a restorative element. Close with how you engage parents proactively so escalations don't come as a surprise.
5. Why do you want to work at Smt.eswaramma High School?
Show you've done the homework: reference the CBSE curriculum, the Ananthapuramu campus, and one specific programme or value from their website. Tie it to what you bring — pedagogy, subject expertise or a co-curricular strength.
6. How do you use technology in the classroom?
Pick one or two tools you actually use (Google Classroom, Kahoot, Nearpod, a subject-specific simulator) and tie them to a learning outcome, not novelty. If Smt.eswaramma High School runs a specific LMS, mention you'd upskill on it in the first month.
