Lead a department of nine across Years 7 to 11, responsible for the scheme of work, moderation, and results.

Why this works

Eight decisions, each visible in the document on the left.

Department size is the number that matters. "A department of nine" tells a head of department exactly what they would be inheriting. Without it, a leadership role is indistinguishable from a classroom one.
The attainment gap is a teacher's real metric. Fourteen points between the lowest and middle band is what a senior leader is judged on, and very few applications report it at all.
Interventions are counted in students. Sixty a year is small, specific, and checkable. "Improved student outcomes" is neither.
Outcomes are always compared to something. 82% against a school average of 68%. A bare percentage tells a reader nothing about whether that was difficult.
Work that outlived the job is named. The clinic still in the timetable, the criteria three departments use. That is the difference between work that was done and work that was good.
The promotion stays inside one school. Two roles at Westbrook tell a hiring head that she took responsibility rather than job-hopped, which is the thing they are actually screening for.
The conference talk is on the page. A public presentation with published materials is the one piece of evidence outside the classroom that a teacher has, and almost nobody lists it.
There is no skills section, on purpose. Subject knowledge, differentiation, behaviour management. Listing them invites the reader to wonder why they needed saying.

Adapting it

Put your results next to the school or national average. The comparison is the entire value of the number.
Name the phase and the key stage. "Secondary, Years 7 to 11" filters instantly; "secondary" does not.
Keep it to two pages. With tutoring, clubs, and a leadership role competing for the same space, decide which two are evidence and let the rest go.
