As I have to email it in I don't expect to just attach it to a blank message and hit send? I need to write a covering letter type thing don't I surely?
And this is more hypothetical as its beyond my control but what would I wear to a potential interview?
As the job isn't for an accountant or office I wouldn't need to wear a suit would I? Its an odd one for music type jobs I don't know what the hell to wear, a shirt and smart trousers perhaps?
Schools , I think, tend to have dress codes for teachers so ideally something that complies with that but smart/ made an effort should cover it. In theory it's not a thing that should make any difference at equal opps interviewing but, obviously, makes some kind of subliminal difference.
Dear [whoever I need to address it to]
I have read your vacancy for [job title] with great interest and am attaching my application form for the position.
I would welcome an interview opportunity to discuss this further
Yours sincerely

I'm not applying for a classroom teacher role I would expect it to be in music rooms teaching either one-to-one or small groups. Can't imagine wearing a suit/smart attire for that.
I wouldn't wear jeans anyway, I was thinking a smart shirt, but with no tie, sleeves rolled up maybe. Smart trousers and shoes.
I've never worked in a school but I've worked in parts of the public sector for nearly thirty years and scored hundreds of job applications and interviewed dozens of people and the covering letter has only been important if it contains something different ( such as a need for access for a wheelchair user interviewee).
All I know is its a secondary school, don't know how large it is.
Thanks to everyone else, its been a while since I applied for a job and if I do well to get to the interview stage then I'm in with a chance.
Maybe I'll just send a quick email to ask if they'd still consider me? Or is that sounding too desperate?
I'm not locked in here with you, you are locked in here with me.
Also they've not given much time for people to apply. The readvertisement went up on Friday and the closing date is this Wednesday.
By the looks of it this doesn't sound like the type of company someone wants to work for!
