Welcome to Hertfordshire booklet for new headteachers
Last updated on 18 June 2025
We know from feedback that understanding the Hertfordshire landscape can be a little challenging at times…
In response to this HFL has recently created a “Welcome to Hertfordshire” booklet, with support from HCC and the headteacher forums.
It’s written in response to feedback from heads about needing clarity about the landscape and who's who in our unique and complex landscape - different to many other counties. It’s mainly aimed at new headteachers to Herts (new to role and new to landscape), but it’s a helpful summary guide. for experienced heads too.
We hope that you will find it useful regardless of whether you are leading in a maintained school or trust setting.
