What Cornerstones Maestro is
Cornerstones Maestro is a web platform for planning, adapting, assessing and reporting around the Cornerstones Curriculum. It is designed for primary school leaders and covers a whole-school primary curriculum for ages 3 to 11. Teachers can use live, editable lesson plans linked to the platform, while formative and summative assessment sit alongside curriculum content. Reporting includes class attainment, group analysis, progress monitoring, pupil reports and governor reports. Senior leaders can view school-wide and trust-wide dashboards, and subject leaders can follow a subject across year groups. Wonde provides a free-of-charge MIS integration that automatically moves pupil data into Maestro. Each licence includes a dedicated curriculum adviser and platform support, with live chat also available. The Full Curriculum plan is £12 per pupil per year, with a £500 minimum and £2,800 maximum. The Single Subject plan is £250 per year for a first-year offer on a first subject. Schools can book a free demo; a product trial is not described.
