This report looks at the Teach First initial teacher training programme, which offers a unique route to gaining qualified teacher status, and attracts highly qualified graduates who would not otherwise enter teaching. It is focused on the training element of the London-based programme and considers the extent to which the programme was successful in enabling the trainees to achieve the standards necessary for good quality teaching. It also describes how the trainees found their immersion into teaching exceptionally challenging and how they were increasingly encouraged and inspired to make a positive contribution to the schools in which they were placed.
