Class Teacher

Are you a passionate EYFS teacher looking for your next rewarding opportunity? We are seeking an outstanding practitioner to join our dedicated team from January 2027. As part of our vibrant and supportive school community, you will have the opportunity to shape engaging learning experiences, build strong relationships with children and families, and make a lasting impact during the formative early years of education.

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".

Joining Beacon Academy makes you part of Kernow Learning, a multi-academy trust of 21 primary schools across Cornwall. Through collaboration, innovation and shared expertise, we support our schools to provide exceptional education and opportunities for every child. Beyond our schools, our English Hub and Teaching School Hub work with schools across Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly to strengthen teaching, learning and leadership.
