Hachette Learning is one of the largest – and oldest – educational publishers in the UK. Our roots go back to the 1860s when ‘Hodder Education’ started creating textbooks for ‘technical’ learners. We are also the home of John Catt Educational, the home of the UK’s most trusted and respected authors for Professional Development. We have always strived to solve educational needs: be that from textbooks or cutting-edge adaptive technologies.
We’re on a mission to help every learner reach their full potential. As Hachette Learning, we aim to empower everyone involved in education, giving them the skills, solutions and confidence they need to take learning to the next level. We know that no two students learn the same way. That’s why our approach to teaching and learning begins by recognising the needs of individual.
Our mission is to enable every learner to fulfil their unique potential by empowering those who teach them. From our expert teaching-and-learning resources to our digital educational tools that make learning easier and more accessible, we provide solutions designed to maximise the impact of learning for every teacher, parent and student.
As part of our parent company, Hachette UK, we are committed to supporting all of customers and their needs through our Changing the Story programme.
Our new name – Hachette Learning – recognises that learning is a lifelong process that continues beyond a school or college education, and applies to teachers, school leaders, parents and students equally. Because Learning never stops.
Hachette Learning can support you with greater breadth and depth across the curriculum than any other UK educational publisher.
Primary. Our Reading Planet reading scheme is the most modern and diverse in the UK truly representing today’s classroom and helping every child to see themselves reflected in the books that they are reading. The accompanying Rocket Phonics is a leading DfE-approved Phonics programme. And our new materials for Nursery education help us to start a powerful and enjoyable reading journey from the Early Years.
