Finance Officer

As a former primary deputy headteacher and Literacy lead, I really enjoy working with senior leaders and teachers to implement curriculum changes. I also love supporting subject leaders in leading their subjects using the amazing Maestro platform effectively. One of the best parts of my job is visiting schools and seeing our teaching ideas come to life, and I am proud to represent Cornerstones in the South of England.

Every day is different at Cornerstones, and it works incredibly well for someone as creative as me. As a Senior Manager, I am responsible for how we communicate with schools, and how we share our work more widely with others. You might also spot me in a video or two, sharing some artistic tips and techniques!

I’m a former English and philosophy lecturer. I studied in Scotland and journeyed to Japan and discovered a love for teaching and curriculum development. I love being a senior curriculum adviser! Working with such a diverse range of educators worldwide is a real privilege to help them develop their curriculum into a bespoke learning experience for children.

As a Curriculum Adviser here at Cornerstones, I use my knowledge of primary education to help me support schools build their curriculum. I have worked as both a primary teacher and tutor in a range of year groups throughout the primary phase and have subject leadership experience in Geography. I really enjoy meeting with our fantastic schools and developing curriculums that will inspire the children who will be using our resources.

Cathryn is the Online Security Manager at Cornerstones Education. She ensures the organisation complies with legal and regulatory standards, working across teams to maintain data security and operational efficiency.

Nick, a Senior Manager, oversees finance, CRM, and business information reporting at Cornerstones. His expertise in English Language and marketing, combined with experience in various management roles, contributes to the company’s strategic planning and operational efficiency.

After 30 years in primary education as a teacher and senior leader, I was excited to come and work for Cornerstones to write the updated early years curriculum content. I now work as a senior curriculum adviser, sharing my experience and passion for teaching in the early years with schools nationwide.

As a Curriculum Support Adviser, it’s my role to support teachers to use Maestro in the way that works best for them. As a primary teacher for over 17 years, I know how important time is so I always want to help teachers get the most out of Maestro. You’ll often find me on live chat, answering any questions that you have.

Gary, a Senior 3D Motion Design Officer, started his design career in 2017, working within various industries. He designed most of the explainer videos within the Cornerstones curriculum, collaborating with the marketing and curriculum teams. Recently, he’s expanded into designing and developing the new Cornerstones Education Website.

As the Senior Standards Officer, I create and make sure that our resources are always of the highest quality and accurate for our teachers. I’m always working on our resources to provide the best resources to support teachers.
