Assistant Headteacher, Deputy Safeguarding Lead & SENCO
My name is Sophie Neilson. I am the KS2 class teacher. I have taught for ten years and upon returning from two years in sunny Dubai, moved to teaching in alternative provision. Teaching at Cornerstone is truly the highlight of my career so far and working with our children daily is a privilege. Outside of school I love practicing yoga, experimenting with cooking different cuisines and exploring the Cheshire countryside.

I love to garden, bake, walk the dog and read – I love reading!

Learning Mentor & Outdoor Lead
Hello, my name is Declan Coxon and I am a Learning Mentor at Cornerstone Academy. This is my first step to working in the education sector after graduating from University. I thoroughly enjoy being able to help and support the students in a classroom environment. I love to stretch and challenge the students through the use of PE, allowing the students to develop their social, emotional, physical and cognitive skills. Outside of work, I try to take part in as much sport as I possibly can, as it has been a love and passion of mine since a very early age. I also enjoy travelling with my partner and seeing the many places our world has to offer, spending time with my family and looking after my young nephew.
