We are seeking an enthusiastic and talented Class Teacher to join our dedicated
team and help our school continue to 'Shine Brightly'. This is a full-time,
fixed-term maternity cover role until 31st August 2027 or the return of the
substantive post holder. The successful candidate will bring energy, creativity
and a commitment to ensuring every child thrives both academically and
personally.
For the right post holder, there may be the opportunity at the end of the
contract to stay within our Trust of 21 fantastic primary schools!
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. 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".
As well as offering great schools to work in, wonderful children to work with,
and fantastic colleagues to work alongside. our Trust is committed to providing
colleagues with other benefits that make your employment with Kernow Learning

A range of CPD and training opportunities, both internally and externally,
learning from local and national speakers and specialists to support your
professional growth.
The support and skills of our networks of colleagues both within our schools and
