Head of Department Cover Letter Template

Dear Hiring Manager, I’ve led policy development and implementation across multiple schools, and in the last five years I’ve worked to align curriculum needs with practical classroom delivery. At [Previous Company], we rolled out a new policy framework across 12 campuses that clarified roles and timelines, and we tracked progress with a simple dashboard. It helped staff prioritise actions and reduced policy ambiguity during term starts. My strengths sit in coordinating educational, administrative and financial matters while keeping a clear line to stakeholders. I can translate policy need into practical training for teachers and clear guidance for school leaders. I’m comfortable engaging with parents and community groups and I bring strong skills in monitoring and evaluation to ensure reforms stay on track and are responsive to student needs. A recent project illustrates this approach. We identified gaps in how curriculum changes affected student development planning, then redesigned the coaching and training program for teachers. Significantly improved teacher confidence and consistency in delivery, and we established regular feedback cycles with principals to refine implementation in year two. I’m interested in discussing how the Head of Department role at [Company Name] could benefit from this approach. I’m available for a conversation at your convenience to explore alignment and next steps. Kind regards, [Your Name]
