    HFL Education (formerly Herts for Learning) is the largest school company in the UK, with over 520 school shareholders, dedicated to improving education for young people in Hertfordshire and beyond. Outside of the Hertfordshire boundaries, through its online training, consultancy work and its publications, HFL support schools not just in neighbouring counties but as far afield as the Middle East.

    HFL Education is the trading name for Herts for Learning Ltd.  As a collaboratively owned school company, Herts for Learning Ltd operates with a not-for-profit ethos. 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. 

    Although we are a private limited company (limited by shares), our shareholders are made up entirely of Hertfordshire schools and Hertfordshire County Council.

    Since its creation in September 2013, HFL has reinvested £970k in common-good activities and has passed £1.5m in price reductions for the Hertfordshire Internet and Connectivity Service (HICS) on to shareholding schools.

    Over past years, investments have included:

    • Teacher recruitment (including the Teach in Herts teacher recruitment fairs)
    • Pupil premium and closing gaps research projects
    • Transition support between primary and secondary phases
    • Research and sharing of best practice
    • One-off rebates and significant price reductions, notably for the Hertfordshire Internet and Connectivity Service (HICS) now called HFL Broadband.
    • Development of Business Manager Services.
