Children demonstrate excellent behaviour around the school and are caring and safe. They are resilient learners and take pride in their achievements.
What is the Cornerstones Curriculum?
The Cornerstones Curriculum is a creative and thematic approach to learning that is mapped to the 2014 primary National Curriculum to ensure comprehensive coverage of national expectations. It is based on a child-centred pedagogy called The Four Cornerstones and is delivered through Imaginative Learning Projects (ILPs) which provide a rich menu of exciting and motivating learning activities that make creative links between all aspects of children’s learning.
We believe children learn better when they are encouraged to use their imagination and apply their learning to engaging contexts.
Our curriculum provides many learning challenges throughout the academic year that require children to solve problems, apply themselves creatively and express their knowledge and understanding effectively. Cornerstones also provide a rigorous skills and knowledge framework that outlines the end of year expectations in all subjects.
These skills and knowledge are tied to activities and are age-related so that staff can track children’s progress and identify their individual learning needs.
At Marston Moreteyne School, we recognise that all pupils are entitled to a quality of provision that will enable them to achieve their potential. We believe in positive intervention, removing barriers to learning, raising expectations and levels of achievement and working in partnership with other agencies in order to provide a positive educational experience for all our pupils including those with a special educational need or disability.
Our school recognises there are particular groups of pupils whose circumstances require additional consideration by those who work with them to support their SEND. At Marston Moreteyne School, the SENCO ensures all teachers in school understand the implications for those children who have SEND. The SENDCO works in close partnership with the family and class teachers. We ensure that all pupils, regardless of their specific needs make the best possible progress.
