Become a sponsor and help us recruit Portsmouth's educators of the future

Teach Portsmouth is powered by the generosity of organisations who share our commitment to supporting recruitment and retention in schools, academies, and colleges across the city.

As a not-for-profit service, 100% of your sponsorship goes directly towards funding campaigns and events that help attract and retain talented staff in education. This year, you can support two key events focused on recruiting the school and college workforce of the future.

In return, your organisation will have opportunities to showcase its products and services in meaningful and impactful ways.

By partnering with Teach Portsmouth, you’re not just promoting your brand, you’re investing in the future of education in our city.
