Description Truro and Penwith Academy Trust, together with Cape Cornwall School and St Just Primary School, are seeking to appoint a reliable and enthusiastic Minibus Driver for Cape Cornwall School. Cape Cornwall School is located in St Just in West Penwith, Cornwall. We are the most westerly school on mainland UK – and also one of the smallest secondary schools in the UK. There are sea views across our school fields and we are surrounded by beautiful countryside. Our catchment is broad: we serve St Just as well as surrounding villages. Many of our students bus in from local villages like Pendeen, Sennen, St Buryan and St Levan. Some of our students travel from Penzance each day in the school minibuses. Our size is our strength – there are very strong relationships between staff and between students and their families. We all share the desire to achieve the very best for our students, many of whom face significant challenges. We are proud of our school community and the school is a big part of St Just. We participate regularly in community events, and support the wider community, for example with fundraising and participation in local events like the Lafrowda festival and St Piran’s Day. Truro and Penwith Academy Trust have been at the forefront of innovative practice through the ‘Advantage Project’. For almost 3 years, our children have used iPads to support their learning. Staff receive significant ongoing training as part of our ‘Digital Transformation’ – our work is delivered using ‘Showbie’ as a workflow tool; pedagogy is supported and underpinned using a range of apps; we also use ‘Jamf Teacher’ as a classroom management system. We have a designated Digital Transformation Lead who has recently qualified as an Apple Learning Coach, and supports our growing confidence in the use of technology. Our school is also home to our ‘Kites’ Area Resource Base. This is a bespoke provision for children with a range of special educational needs. There are 20 children roll at Kites and we are proud of the interface between ‘Kites’ and the mainstream school. Many of the students registered to ‘Kites’ follow a mainstream academic pathway whilst others have a bespoke curriculum, well-suited to their needs. Our Headteacher is Headteacher of St Just Primary School as well as Cape Cornwall School. This has created a fabulous opportunity for the two schools to work together to create one educational journey for the children in St Just from Early Years to 16. The successful applicant would potentially have a role in shaping the development of maths cross-phase. About The Role: Cape Cornwall School is seeking an enthusiastic and reliable person to join our school minibus driver pool to support our daily service for students who live outside our catchment.

There is a further ‘catch up’ bus at 4.00pm that supports after-school clubs and fixtures. It would be possible to support all or just some of the transport services up to 15 hours per week.
