The charity has placed over 16,000 teachers in low-income areas, improving the life chances and choices of over two million pupils. Research shows that teachers trained via Teach First are much more likely to move into senior leadership positions, and earlier in their careers, compared to similar teachers trained via other routes.
In addition to developing teachers and leaders, the charity believe that pupils facing the biggest barriers to success need champions, across all of society, so they have developed over 90 nationwide networks that include networks for teachers, senior leaders and headteachers, and for ambassadors (those who have completed one of their programmes) working in government and business.
