Herts for Learning provides flexible, high quality teaching, learning, leadership and business support to schools and education settings in Hertfordshire and beyond. As a not for profit company, dedicated to raising standards and improving teaching and learning, we work closely with schools to ensure that our products and services meet their continually changing needs.

We believe that every young person, through access to a great education, should be able to realise their potential, regardless of where they live or their circumstances. Our work is focused on supporting the schools we work with to achieve successful long-term outcomes for their children. HFL is the UK’s largest school company, operates with a not-for-profit ethos and is majority owned by Hertfordshire schools. Beyond maintaining sufficient reserves and financing long-term projects, any surplus made is invested in the common good and/or the development of specific new services to address key challenges for our shareholding schools. Since our inception in 2013 we have reinvested nearly £1million in activities that would not otherwise have attracted funding.
