FAQs
For schools:
- We offer a flexible pricing structure where you can either ‘Pay per Recruitment Round’ or experience unlimited use of the Teacherfolio platform with an annual subscription. Our annual subscription prices are based on school size and range from £500-£2000 per school, per year. We also offer a discount for networks of schools and MATs. Full details of our pricing can be found here
- Simply head to our website, select the package that you’re interested in and click ‘Order now’. You will be asked to create an account by choosing a username and password. You will then be ready to set up your first recruitment round and start collecting digital content from your candidates.
- Under no circumstances will schools from outside of your network be able to view your candidates’ Teacherfolios. If other schools within your network/ MAT also subscribe to Teacherfolio, then, with the permission of the candidate, Teacherfolios can be shared with these schools within your network/ MAT. There is also the option to invite candidates to join a talent pool which can be accessed by all subscribing schools within the network/ MAT.
- From your dashboard, select ‘My account’ in the top right corner of the screen. Select ‘Add staff’, type their email address(es) in the box provided and click ‘Submit’. They will receive an invitation to create a Teacherfolio account and will have access to the dashboard to review your candidates.
- Teacherfolio does not offer a jobs board. We encourage schools to advertise their vacancies in their usual way, but we can recommend one of our partners if you are looking to improve your candidate insight. Please get in touch via support@teacherfolio.com if you would like further advice on this.
- Absolutely! Teacherfolio can fit into your recruitment process wherever you see fit. If you’re looking to collect digital content from all of your applicants, it’s as simple as adding a link to your job advert. If you’re looking to collect digital content from a longlist of candidates, it’s as simple as selecting your content and inputting your candidates’ email addresses. Got your own application form template? No problem! Should you wish, this can be embedded into each of your candidates’ Teacherfolios.
- Yes you can! This can be a talent pool just for your school or a communal talent pool that can be accessed by other subscribing schools within your network. When setting this up, you can decide on the digital content that you would like to see from the teachers who choose to join your talent pool.

Files, such as videos and images, can be uploaded directly from mobile devices.
- You can save progress as often as you like when uploading content – it doesn’t all need to be uploaded in one go and it doesn’t all need to be uploaded from the same device. Once you have submitted your Teacherfolio, you can view or edit your Teacherfolio by clicking the ‘View’ or ‘Edit’ button from your dashboard.
