Beacon Academy is a vibrant and dynamic primary academy, with a thriving nursery, special SEN provision and children at its heart. We are one of only 16 primary Talk for Writing Training Centres across the UK that are recognised for their high-quality teaching of reading and writing. We are proudly part of Kernow Learning. We are looking for excellent KS1 and KS2 Class Teachers to join our talented team and continue to make our school ‘Shine Brightly’. • Are you highly motivated and driven with a proven track record of delivering quality first teaching to raise standards? • Do you work proactively with a ‘can do’ spirit to ensure that the needs of every child are fully met? • Can you share in our passion for learning? This is a full-time, permanent contract starting on 1st September 2025. Kernow Learning is a multi-academy trust of 21 primary schools in Cornwall. We believe that our trust is at the precipice of something great; through a mix of collective synchronicity and autonomy, our schools are working together to provide strength so that they can stretch their offer beyond expectations in their drive for excellence. Our trust is not insular; we embrace collaboration, innovation, and development. Our English Hub supports schools across Cornwall to secure children’s early reading, whilst our Teaching School Hub, as a partner in OneCornwall, provides services to schools across Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly in relation to areas such as the Early Career Framework and National Professional Qualifications. Beacon is a primary school and nursery for children aged 3 to 11 years old with an Area Resource Base for pupils from 4 years old. We hope that children will join us from the age of 3, when they can enjoy our fantastic outdoor Nursery, and then thrive on the provision in each year group up to Year 6. It is at the end of Year 6 that we say goodbye to our confident, well-rounded young people, as they move on to secondary school equipped with skills which will take them successfully forward into the next stage of their education and indeed, will take them on into their longer-term futures. We have three key values at Beacon Academy: Be Brilliant, Be Brave, Believe. These values work in partnership with our Trust Core Shared Values and our Trust Philosophy of ‘work hard, be honest & help others’. Our three school key values underpin everything we do.
