What matters in this role

  • The levels and subjects you teach, precisely. A head teacher is filling a specific timetable.
  • Progress and attainment data, with the comparator. A score without the school average is unreadable.
  • Your teaching diploma, where it is recognised, and your criminal record certificate with its date.
  • Responsibilities beyond teaching: mentoring, curriculum work, integration and learning support.

Common mistakes

  • Describing your teaching philosophy at length instead of your results.
  • Omitting the levels you teach, which forces the reader to guess.
  • No data, in a profession that measures everything.
  • Leaving the criminal record certificate off, which just creates a question.
