A useful starting point
QTS status, phase, and pupil-outcome or pastoral proof. Two pages. Skip a photo. Skip this if you are unqualified — use TA or tutor examples and say so in line one. QTS is not optional for most school posts.
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.
