Class Teacher (Maternity Cover), Beacon Academy
We are seeking a dedicated and enthusiastic Class Teacher to join our skilled and supportive team. This role is offered on a fixed-term basis as maternity cover and is expected to continue until June 2027, subject to the return of the postholder.
This is an exciting opportunity to play a vital role in helping children flourish within a school community committed to excellence. The successful candidate will be passionate about working with children and will have the communication skills, patience, and commitment needed to inspire confidence, nurture potential, and support every child to be their very best.
About Beacon Academy
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".
