Teacher CV template (UK, Word)

Part of the ATS-friendly CV template pack: three Word templates, a tailoring guide and keyword sheets for 40 UK roles.

What should a UK teacher CV include?

Lead with QTS (or your route to it), the key stages and subjects you teach, and measurable pupil outcomes. Show safeguarding training, SEND and adaptive teaching, the systems you use (SIMS, Arbor, CPOMS) and wider contributions such as tutoring or clubs. Mirror the school's advert wording.
