What you get
Six deliverables built around how UK schools shortlist teachers. Leaving the classroom or moving into lecturing? See our career change CV writing service or academic CV writing service.
QTS, TRN and safeguarding up front
Your QTS and TRN, PGCE or other training route, safeguarding training and enhanced DBS check (or PVG or AccessNI equivalent), placed where a shortlisting panel checks first. Teaching in Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland? We include your GTCS, EWC or GTCNI registration.
Phase, Key Stages and specifications
Your phase from EYFS to sixth form, the Key Stages and subjects you teach, and the exam boards and specifications you teach, such as AQA, OCR, Pearson Edexcel, WJEC Eduqas or SQA, named clearly so a head can match you to the timetable.
Pupil outcomes, honestly evidenced
Results, progress, attendance and behaviour gains written as evidence, with the context a panel needs: class, cohort, subject and year. We never borrow the school’s headline figures or Ofsted outcome as your personal achievement.
Leadership and TLR impact
Head of department, head of year, SENCO and mentoring roles, including TLR posts, written as impact: curriculum design, line management, budgets and staff development, with NPQs such as NPQSL or NPQH listed properly.
ECT and trainee framing
For trainees and ECTs, we turn PGCE or SCITT placements, mentor feedback and the Teachers’ Standards into clear classroom evidence, so your first teaching CV reads like a teacher’s, not a student’s.
ATS-optimised and form-ready
A clean layout that reads correctly in the online recruitment systems trusts and agencies use, keyword-optimised to the person specification, and structured to copy straight into school application forms.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a teacher CV writing service cost in the UK?
Our teacher CV writing service costs £129, £169 or £299. Starter Pack (£129) is an expert-written, ATS-optimised CV. Career Growth (£169) adds a tailored cover letter and our 45-day interview guarantee.
Executive Priority (£299) adds a LinkedIn profile rewrite and a first draft within 3 working days, which suits senior leaders working to tight closing dates. Every package includes free revisions.
How long should a teacher CV be in the UK?
Two sides of A4 is the standard for most UK teachers, from ECTs to heads of department. Shortlisting panels read quickly, so we open with a personal profile, your QTS and your current post, then set out your employment history in reverse chronological order.
Senior leaders with long careers can occasionally justify a third page, but only when every line evidences impact.
Do UK schools want a CV or an application form?
Most schools want an application form. Under Keeping Children Safe in Education (KCSIE), schools in England should only accept a CV alongside a full application form, which often asks for a supporting statement or letter of application.
Your CV still matters: supply agencies and many international schools ask for one, and a strong CV becomes the master document you copy into every application. Career Growth adds a tailored cover letter you can adapt for your letter of application.
Should I put a photo, date of birth or DBS details on my teacher CV?
Leave off the photo, date of birth and marital status, because UK CVs do not include them and schools collect what they need through the application form.
A short line confirming you hold an enhanced DBS check (PVG scheme membership in Scotland, an Enhanced AccessNI check in Northern Ireland), and that you subscribe to the DBS Update Service if you do, is useful. Your TRN can sit beside your QTS.
How do you write a CV for an ECT?
An ECT CV leads with your QTS (or your expected QTS date if you are still training), your PGCE or other training route and your degree classification, then treats each school placement as real teaching experience.
We evidence the Teachers’ Standards with specifics: classes and Key Stages taught, behaviour strategies, assessment and pupil progress. Moving schools part way through induction? We show how much you have completed. In Wales (NQT) or Scotland (probationer), we use the terms and standards that apply there.
Do UK schools use ATS software to screen teacher applications?
Some do. Large multi-academy trusts, independent school groups and recruitment agencies often manage applications through online recruitment systems, and agencies search their candidate databases by keyword.
We keep your CV in a clean single-column layout with standard headings, and mirror the language of the job description and person specification so your experience is found and scored correctly.
How quickly will I receive my teacher CV?
Your first draft arrives within 3 to 5 working days, or within 3 working days on Executive Priority. You can then request free revisions to refine the wording, so it is worth ordering a week or two before the closing date of the post you want.
If you are aiming for a September start, have your CV ready early in the spring term, when many of those posts are advertised.
Are your CV writers qualified teachers?
No, and we are upfront about that. Our writers are professional CV writers who know the education sector and how UK schools shortlist.
You bring the classroom expertise; your writer asks the right questions about your subjects, Key Stages, outcomes and responsibilities, then presents them the way headteachers, governors and trust leaders expect to read them.
