The Cornerstone Academy Trust announced that the first module of the Supporting Early Language Development Programme is starting on Wednesday 30 September.

The Cornerstone Academy Trust (TCAT) is a forward-thinking multi-academy trust committed to providing an ambitious, inclusive and innovative education for every child. We champion high expectations, rich learning experiences and the strategic use of technology to empower pupils as confident, independent learners. TCAT comprises seven primary schools across Devon and North Devon. Together, we deliver a broad and balanced curriculum enriched by digital learning, the creative arts, sports, outdoor education and strong pastoral care. As a nationally recognised Microsoft Training Academy, we provide high-quality professional development for staff across the region and beyond. Every pupil from Year 1 to Year 6 benefits from one-to-one device access, ensuring consistent, personalised and future-ready learning both in school and at home. We invest heavily in staff expertise, school-to-school collaboration and system leadership, contributing nationally through our work as an English Hub. Our goal is to develop curious thinkers, resilient learners and responsible citizens who are ready for a rapidly changing world.
