Who we are
We believe education is the most powerful tool to help a child fulfil their potential.
Teach First is an education charity
Since 2003, we’ve been improving the life chances and choices for children experiencing poverty.
We train talented teachers and equip school leaders working in some of the poorest areas of the country – to give children with the fewest opportunities access to a great education.
We are Teach First
We are a community
Working inside the classroom and beyond. To bring an end to educational inequality.
Because a child’s future shouldn’t depend on their postcode.
Will you join us?
Who we’re working for
One in four children in the UK live in poverty.
Too often, that means they miss out on the support and opportunities they need to thrive at school.
Without the right help, they’re more likely to leave education behind – and face limited options for the future.
But with the right teacher, the right support, and the right opportunities, their story can be different.

Our strategy to 2030
Our vision is for every child to fulfil their potential.
It starts with a great education.
Let’s make sure all children, no matter where they grow up, can be whoever they want to be.
