A useful starting point
QTS plus SEN setting, EHCP caseload, and a progress proof. Two pages. Skip a photo. Skip this if you are a TA — use that example. The title “SEN teacher” without QTS is a problem.
These examples illustrate structure, not a real applicant’s history. Replace every sample detail with your own evidence. Follow the employer’s instructions on qualifications, registration, document length and file format.
