We are located on the A393 Redruth – Falmouth road, close to the Kennall Vale Nature Reserve, a picturesque river valley containing the remains of Kennall Vale Gunpowder Works.

The school has 5 classrooms, and at present 120 pupils on roll organised into mixed-age classes.
About the Role
Kennall Vale School is seeking to appoint a dynamic and committed Teaching Assistant to work as part of our team. The real strength of the school lies in the people; staff, children, parents, and Local Monitoring Committee members are proud of our school and work hard to provide a caring and stimulating environment for learning.

To this end we constantly strive to improve by keeping up to date with the very best ideas in teaching and learning and providing a fun place to learn.
