Pure Potential

Teach First

Teach First is a charity that provides the training and support to enable high-calibre graduates to make a real impact in addressing one of the UK’s most damaging social issues, educational disadvantage. At the same time, while they are transforming the lives of young people in schools around the country, Teach First helps graduates to dramatically enhance their own career potential, in schools and elsewhere, and become part of a movement that is effecting profound change throughout the UK.

Teach First offers an exceptional Leadership Development Programme that focuses on education, and which includes in its first year a PGCE qualification. With high-quality training, supportive coaching and on-going alumni opportunities, Teach First provides a unique platform of skills and experience to take forward into any future career. That’s why over 80 companies, government agencies and public bodies back Teach First’s ability to effect change and to develop leaders for the future.

To date over 3,300 high-calibre graduates have signed up for the programme, committing themselves to two years in the classroom, changing lives. Over 200 secondary schools in the East & West Midlands, London, North East & North West and Yorkshire & the Humber, have welcomed Teach First participants, and the programme is set for further expansion into Kent & Medway in 2012.  Teach First is also now placing teachers in selected primary schools across the country.
