How to write a strong CV as a teacher

Concrete, no clichés — what works with recruiters.

QTS, subject and key stage on the first line

Head teachers and HR scan for three things: qualification (QTS / QTLS / NPQ), your subject area, and which key stage you teach (KS1 / KS2 / KS3 / KS4 / KS5 / FE / HE). Put that combination on the first line of your profile. Avoid "passionate about education" — head teachers spot that pattern immediately as a template phrase.

Results in numbers, even in education

The taboo around numbers in education is outdated. A pass rate above the national average, progress 8 scores, value-added measures, retention rates — if you have one, include it. "A-level History 96% pass rate (national 89%) over 5 cohorts" is a strong signal that you are genuinely effective as a teacher, not just present.

Curriculum work and form tutoring carry weight

Head teachers look for teachers who do more than teach: curriculum development, examination boards, KS5 form tutoring, coaching ECTs. Mention these roles concretely with numbers ("form tutor for 4 consecutive Year 12 cohorts"). This sets you apart from hundreds of CVs that only say "teaching experience".
