Living in Hertfordshire

Choosing where to work is also about choosing where to live.

Hertfordshire is not only a fantastic place to build your career in education, but also a wonderful place to put down roots, raise a family and support your own children's learning. As one of the Home Counties, bordering North London, Hertfordshire combines rich history and vibrant communities with excellent schools, beautiful countryside and strong transport connections.

Whether you're relocating to the area, commuting from nearby counties or already live locally, Hertfordshire offers the best of both worlds – easy access to London alongside charming market towns, thriving neighbourhoods and open green spaces. It's a county where career opportunities and quality of life go hand in hand.

From cultural attractions and historic landmarks to outdoor adventures, family days out and vibrant town centres, there are countless things to do across the county. Explore our Things to Do page and discover what makes Hertfordshire such a great place to live, work and learn.
