Teach First

Teach First is an educational charity trying to end educational inequality. How much your parents earn and where you were brought up impacts your chances in life. Low family income is directly linked to low academic attainment. We recruit and train teachers and place them in the schools that need them most because we believe that every child no matter their background should have the right to a brilliant education.

We offer a two-year salaried teacher training route where you train to become a teacher in one of our partner schools - gaining your Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) and a fully funded Postgraduate Diploma in Education and Leadership (PGDE).
