Here at Ernesford Grange Primary School we provide a creative curriculum based around the Cornerstones Curriculum, a nationally recognised approach for delivering outstanding learning opportunities for children.
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. Our new curriculum will be delivered through Imaginative Learning Projects (ILPs) which will provide a rich menu of exciting and motivating learning activities that make creative links between all aspects of our children’s learning.
We believe children learn better when they are encouraged to use their imagination and apply their learning to engaging contexts. Our new curriculum will provide lots of learning challenges throughout the academic year that will require children to solve problems, apply themselves creatively and express their knowledge and understanding effectively across the curriculum.
Cornerstones also provide a rigorous essential skills framework that outlines the end of year expectations in all subjects. These essential skills are tied to activities and are age related so that staff can track children’s progress and identify their individual learning needs.
How it Works?
Children will progress through four stages of learning in each ILP – Engage, Develop, Innovate and Express. To find out more about these stages please click on the link through to Cornerstones website: Cornerstones

Phonics and Early Reading
In Nursery, children are taught to identify sounds from the environment and the first few phonemes and necessary skills needed to orally blend. In Reception and Year 1, the children take part in daily phonics lessons and three reading practise sessions every week taught by a dedicated team of staff. Children needing further support after Year 1 are taught in small groups until they are secure with the necessary sounds to enable them to become fluent and lifelong readers.
Your support is vital, but it is also very important that we all approach it in the same way. Below is a link which will take you to the Parents’ Pages. Here you will find information and useful videos to help you to support your child’s reading journey.
