“We actively recruit from Teach First if we can, because they’re a different calibre of teachers than you get through recruitments ads. We know the quality of the trainees and the difference that they make is huge!” 

Rose Hughes, Headteacher, Yardleys School 

“I don’t think there is any other country where a grassroots organisation had such a profound impact on raising teacher professionalism than Teach First in England.”  

Andreas Schleicher, Director for Education and Skills, Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD)
