The mission is simple: to add 100 Black Headteachers to the education system by 2038. Founded in partnership with Teach First in 2023, this network provides a safe space where Black Teach First ambassadors in senior leadership can connect, access tailored coaching and hear directly from influential education leaders. So far, the impact speaks for itself: three members have already secured headships in two years.
New members can join from May 2026.
Join the waitlist today to be the first to hear when applications open.
“The 100 Black Headteachers Network changed my life. I’ve received radical care, high quality leadership development and built relationships. I know that my students and I have received the growth of a lifetime which has put me in the position I am in today.”
- Yansé Cooper, Headteacher of ELAM
