A new fly-on-the-wall TV series is following six young trainee teachers as they embark on their school careers.

Tough Young Teachers, which launched on BBC Three last week, filmed the teachers working in three London schools over the course of a year. It is the first time the working lives of trainee teachers have been filmed.

The teachers are all on the Teach First programme. After six weeks of intensive training the fast-track scheme sends high-achieving young graduates to teach in schools in disadvantaged areas across England and Wales for a minimum of two years.

Teach First is confident that the six-part series will highlight the way teachers support youngsters to achieve their ambitions, often in very challenging circumstances.
