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".

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 One Cornwall, 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.
