The Cornerstones Curriculum, created by Melanie Moore, Graham Bell and Simon Hickton (two primary teachers and ex local authority advisers, and a serving headteacher), is now in seventeen different authorities across the UK. A curriculum built on the ‘Four Cornerstones of Learning’ - Engage - Develop - Innovate - Express, is proving irresistible to children and exciting for teachers to teach. Flexible enough to adapt to any school’s needs, yet underpinned by a thorough and rigorous skills framework with full coverage of the National Curriculum. Cornerstones Education Limited helps schools think differently about approaches to the curriculum, unleashing the potential and passion of children and teachers alike.

Thomas Edison’s invention of the electric light bulb changed education and learning forever, allowing people to read, write and work in ways that had previously been impossible. EdisonLearning’s vision is to create a similar transformation in education, achieved not through technological change, but by seeking out radically new and better ways of organising and operating schools to meet the demands of a rapidly changing society.
To thrive and succeed in an era of increasing international competition, students will need exceptional academic, social, personal and employability skills. Our mission is to help schools and their students to meet this challenge.
Since launching in March, PropertyPrefect has been adopted by over 600 school users. It represents best practice in premises management giving new headteachers the reassurance that everything that should be done is being done.
It includes a list of maintenance, health and safety and other recurring activities, prompts staff with email reminders, automatically builds an audit trail of evidence and allows important documents to be uploaded for secure offsite storage and instant access.
Also included is a very easy to use issues log, library of guidance notes and reports so you can produce a premises report pack in minutes, not hours.
The Institute of Education (IOE) is one of the largest CPD and initial teacher training providers in Europe. Ranked seventh in the UK for educational and social research (2010), the Education and Social Research Institute's (ESRI's) work within IOE supports world-class programmes. The Centre for Innovation and Enterprise (CIE) provides training and development to over 7,000 schools and its e-learning support to clients in the USA and the Middle East was rated number one on Google.
Our world-class reputation in providing creative solutions to client problems through the de Bono Centre for Serious Creativity and Constructive Thinking, has led to CIE’s status as the UK Centre for Excellence in Education.
