About us

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".

Job Description

We seek an inspiring ARB Class Teacher who has a passion for special educational needs to join the ARB team at Beacon Academy which caters for primary age children with challenging and complex learning needs. Our ARB is an integral part of our school.

The successful applicant will be jointly responsible for leading and teaching and learning within the ARB on a daily basis, as well as managing and developing our skilled support team. Our ideal candidate is a teacher experienced in teaching children with complex learning needs, who can build positive and warm relationships to make a difference to some of our most vulnerable children, working alongside our highly experienced ARB manager.

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 the best it can be. We offer:
