Further information about the job

The candidate will be required to undergo a full enhanced DBS check and must be eligible to work in the UK.

Kernow Learning is committed to the safeguarding of children and the successful applicant will be expected to share this commitment and will be required to undergo checks including an enhanced DBS check and online (social media) check.

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. We want every child and every member of our community to hold these values close at all times. These values will, we are sure, enable every child and member of our school community to "Shine Brightly".

We are accredited as a 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.
