Sample Curriculum Vitae

Supply teachers, I feel, are less well supported than most other teaching professionals. At SupplyBag.co.uk we try and help! Here’s a little guidance on writing your CV. You can find more in the rest of the Paperwork section.

Your CV. It’s all in the detail! Make it shine.

Really, this sample curriculum vitae (CV) for teachers and supply teachers is just to demonstrate a suggested order for your information to follow.

  1. Thank you! I really need to update this page, some schools aren’t interested in GCSE results anymore. (And to sort some formatting issues!) It’s a shame as I was (in the day gone by) advised to choose a broad spectrum of subjects to study at GCSE level, if I wanted to teach Key Stage 1 or 2, as I would be teaching the kids a broad spectrum eventually, and that’s something else that prospective schools would look for! Jack of all!

  2. Thank you nuttysupplier for some great tips on cv writing and for making me chuckle so much as I read the details of your references!!
