We are delighted to have been shortlisted for Company of The Year at the National MAT Awards 2025! The Awards are the flagship Multi Academy Trust Association (MATA) event of the year and a great accolade.
Schools, settings and trusts are at the heart of everything we do, and we are so proud to be shortlisted. Carole Bennett our CEO shared the following via LinkedIn which really summarises our feelings:
“At HFL Education (formerly Herts for Learning) we had a REALLY long and proud history of working with maintained schools and Early Years settings on everything from teaching and learning, leadership training, Reading Fluency, to business support, HR and governance development.
But we have worked SO hard to build on this with specific, tailored support for SATs and MATs. So, whatever the legal status of a school or setting, we could add value and improve outcomes for ALL schools, settings and trusts.
( 🎵 Cue Rocky music....)
We have hired the best. We have swotted up. We have worked our socks off.
So this shortlisting from Multi Academy Trust Association (MATA) means the world to us and shows to the world what our Trust communities have told us about the impact we have.
As a not for profit company, we are judged on the difference we make to the lives of those we serve in the education community.
And now, we are proud to say.....
Whether you are a governor, trustee, MAT leader or headteacher, COO or business manager, Ed Director, teacher, a member of support staff – and in whatever kind of school you have chosen to be in – we are here for you.
So that you can be there for your children and young people. “
