The Innovation Award empowers individuals with game-changing ideas that will fulfil our goal of addressing educational inequality in the UK. Up to five Award Winners will receive six months' full-time salary and 12 months of support, including a place on the Teach First Innovation Incubator, an intensive programme of technical training, supportive mentoring and expert advice to help them develop, pilot and scale their idea. The Award is open for applications from 3 October 2016 to 8 January 2017.

At the Launch we will promote the impact of social entrepreneurship in tackling educational inequality, inspire new ideas and provide expert guidance to make applications the best. The event will run from 4:45pm – 8:30pm, and consist of:
