NFER was commissioned by Teach First to conduct a two-part impact evaluation of the Teach First Training Programme. We have published two reports summarising the findings from the two parts.
The first analysed the progression and retention of Teach First Ambassadors, using Initial Teacher Training and School Workforce Census data to highlight the different career trajectories of Teach First teachers compared to those who train through higher education and school- and employment-based training routes.
The second analysed the impact on the workforce and pupil attainment in schools that recruited one or more Teach First trainees, compared to otherwise similar schools which did not recruit Teach First trainees.
