What makes this teacher resume work

Hiring panels and ATS parsers look for the same signals. This example covers both.

✦

Qualifications up front

QTS, PGCE and safeguarding training sit in their own section, so a screener can confirm eligibility without reading the whole page.

✦

Key stages named

KS3, KS4, KS5, GCSE and A-level appear as written, because that is the wording schools put in the job ad and the parser matches.

✦

Classroom scope

"Department of 7" and "classes of up to 32" show scale. Specifics land better than "responsible for teaching".

How to tailor it to a teaching job ad

Paste the vacancy into CinnoVate and the ATS checker compares your CV against it.

1

Match the subject and phase

Lead with "Primary", "Secondary Maths" or "SEND" in your title and summary rather than the generic word "teacher".

2

Mirror the school's language

Exam boards, curricula and platforms — AQA, Edexcel, IB, Google Classroom — should match the posting where you have used them.

3

Show student impact

Replace "taught lessons" with the cohort, intervention or improvement you delivered.
