Why it is written this way
Cohort size makes the rest legible
“Raised attainment” means one thing across 18 students and another across 180. Say which.
Pastoral and curriculum work counts as work
Running a department's scheme of work is a real deliverable, and it is what separates a candidate from a competent classroom teacher.
The qualification is stated plainly, with the awarding body
Teaching is regulated, and the certificate is a filter before anything else on the page is read.
Shapes to fill in
Each blank is yours to complete. These are the same scaffolds the builder offers for this occupation — none of them says anything until you fill it in, which is what keeps them useful rather than a lie somebody else wrote.
