Secondary Teacher Resume Template — Executive Design
Secondary teacher resumes should center on your subject specialism, GCSE/A-Level exam results, and experience managing older students across multiple year groups and set levels. Recruiters want to see evidence of raising attainment in a named subject, not generic classroom management claims. The Executive template — bold dark header with two-column body. Perfect for senior and business roles. — pairs that with a layout built to get noticed by both recruiters and ATS software.
Secondary Teacher Resume — Frequently Asked Questions
How do I highlight exam results without inflating my role in them?
Attribute results to your specific classes and years taught, e.g. "Led Year 11 top set to 78% grades 9-7, against a school average of 54%," rather than whole-school figures you didn't directly influence.
What if I teach more than one subject?
List your main specialism first with the strongest results, then note secondary subjects and key stages taught underneath so schools can quickly match you to their vacancy.
