This is a full time, fixed term position, working Monday to Friday.

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 One Cornwall, 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.

• Build positive and professional relationships with pupils, families and colleagues.
• Work collaboratively as part of a dedicated team and contribute to the wider life of the school.
• Demonstrate a commitment to ongoing professional development and reflective practice.
• Share our commitment to safeguarding, promoting the welfare of children and supporting their wellbeing.

Our School

Beacon is a primary school and nursery for children aged 3 to 11 years, with an Area Resource Base for pupils from the age of 4. We hope that children will join us from the age of 3, when they can enjoy our fantastic outdoor nursery, and then thrive through each year group up to Year 6.

At the end of Year 6, we say goodbye to our confident, well-rounded young people as they move on to secondary school equipped with the skills they need to succeed in the next stage of their education and beyond. We are incredibly proud that Beacon is the only accredited Talk for Writing Training Centre in the South West.

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 and help others'. Our three school values underpin everything we do. We want every child and every member of our community to hold these values close at all times. We are confident that these values enable every child and member of our school community to "Shine Brightly".
