Simon Hickton

CEO and Founder

“As a former primary head of ten years, leading the team here at Cornerstones is a real privilege. My main areas of expertise are school leadership, assessment and the role of ed tech in reducing teacher and senior leader workload. Developing our digital curriculum platform Maestro has been a real labour of love, but knowing how much it has helped schools to reduce their workload makes it all worthwhile.”

Melanie Moore

CEO and Founder

“As a former primary deputy headteacher and teacher of over 30 years I remain incredibly passionate about teaching, learning, leadership and curriculum development in the UK and internationally. Over the last ten years I’ve written and produced multiple curricula, and have written my first book about curriculum design. Curriculum Simplexity was released by Routledge in September 2024.”
