Trenance Learning Academy is an exceptional infant school rooted in its community in the heart of Newquay. The Trenance Team is committed in ensuring every child has an education, geared towards them, their interests and aspirations ensuring they have the opportunity to grow through our ‘Adventures in Learning.’ 

We are a 4-form entry Infant School and proudly part of Kernow Learning Multi Academy Trust. We are looking for a Key Stage 1 teacher to join our talented team in Year 1. This is a 1.0 FTE, fixed term contract starting in December 2025/January 2026 to cover the maternity leave of the permanent postholder. 

At Trenance Learning Academy, we pride ourselves on being a forward thinking, innovative school where staff are supported, developed, and coached to be the best practitioners that they can be. We value the hard, intense and dedicated work of our team and have several staff benefits that make Trenance a fantastic place to work. 

We deliver a highly effective knowledge-rich curriculum (Adventures in Learning) that supports pupils to develop knowledge, skills, and a deeper understanding of the world, through carefully thought-out well sequenced lessons. 

Do you have the same passion for children’s education, have the same dedication to improving outcomes across the South West and understand the challenging work that it takes to truly make this impact? If the answer is yes and you want to make a real difference to the lives of all our children, please apply below. 

Our school has up to 360 children between the ages of 4 and 7 years experiencing consistently great teaching, immersive experiences, and a safe happy environment. We have made a commitment to ensuring that every child in our school has the best start in education so that they can be happy and successful. 

In 2018 we were designated by the Minister for School Standards as an English Hub, one of only 34 in the country and the only one in Cornwall. As an English Hub we support over 150 schools in the teaching of early reading. We are fortunate to have an excellent team of teachers and support staff who help ensure that teaching, learning, behaviour and safety are the best they can be for our children, families and staff. 

As the largest infant school in Cornwall, we recognise the importance of early childhood education and make it our mission to ensure that every child leaves us able to read, write, be a good friend, and have a wide knowledge of our world and a deep love of learning. Our Trust Core Shared Values and our Trust’s Philosophy of ‘work hard, be honest & help others’ reflect this goal. 

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. 

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: 

• A competitive salary and membership of Teachers Pension Scheme;
