Has anyone encountered someone from HR in regards to a job you have applied for, with two interviews now asking for Three Principals reference from your last three jobs? Finding it difficult to find a principal that I work with back in 2015 who has left the school. Can provide my current and the one before which is a written reference he wrote (if they contact him directly have a feeling may have changed his tune just a gut feeling talking to a former colleague who he burnt, also a principal that I work with for five years but dating back from 2009-2015. I thought the norm was to provide your current and with the other two, can be a former principal and someone in leadership.

There is no norm, other than the norm that schools have been upping their requirements for child protection reasons.
This is a major reason I use an agency. All my references are on file going back yonks.
