Penrice Academy is a happy, safe and welcoming school community with highly effective support, care and guidance to allow students to flourish and excel. We are delighted that our 2022 results were simply exceptional, with Penrice recognised as the top-performing Cornish state secondary school for Progress 8 and Attainment 8.

Our priority is to give students the best possible chance of success and happiness when they move onto their next stages in education and beyond.

We wish to appoint a dynamic and enthusiastic team member to support students with a range of additional needs, taking a proactive role in supporting the educational, social and physical needs of students at our school.
The successful candidate will be able to use their initiative, and support teaching and learning across the curriculum, aiding the teacher in the practical organisation of classroom activities and small group work and interventions.
