The School Day

Cornerstones Creative Curriculum

At Stanford le Hope Primary School we have introduced the  educational learning resource called “Cornerstones” to help us teach the wider curriculum.

This is a vibrant and creative curriculum that puts children at its heart. We believe Cornerstones excites children's imaginations, inspires them to learn, extends their horizons, deepens their understanding and meets their intellectual and personal needs.
