Education & Teaching CVs in the UK

QTS-aligned CVs for primary, secondary, FE and HE roles.

About the sector

UK teaching CVs are evidence-led against the Teachers' Standards and increasingly the ECF. We highlight QTS status, key stages, exam boards, safeguarding training and quantified pupil-outcome data, exactly what headteachers and MAT recruiters look for.

Sector-specific CV tips

  • State QTS / QTLS / PGCE status and any subject specialism near the top.
  • Quote pupil-outcome data ('GCSE 9–4 pass rate from 64% → 81%').
  • Reference Teachers' Standards explicitly for ECT applications.
  • Include safeguarding designations (DSL, deputy DSL).
