Tips for this role
Schools want to see the subjects and age ranges you teach, your qualified teacher status (or local equivalent), and evidence of pupil progress. Put qualifications and status high up, and use bullets that show impact on learning, not just duties.
Wider contributions — clubs, trips, pastoral roles, curriculum projects — often differentiate candidates. Keep safeguarding training current and mention it briefly.
