City Academy Whitehawk is a vibrant, two form entry primary school with a Nursery, serving the East Brighton community. We are very proud of our school and everything we do is captured in the phrase: ‘Highest Expectations for All”.

We believe passionately in the potential for every child in our school to be supported, nurtured and challenged in order to allow each child to flourish into being the very best that they can be. We strive to provide an exemplary education to ensure that every child develops the self-belief and the skills that they need to have a successful and fulfilling life. To achieve this, we have the highest expectations for our staff, our families, our community and of course our children themselves.

We challenge ourselves to provide the best possible education and to really be a school that ‘goes the extra mile’ for our children and community. We are committed to ensuring that our children feel safe, understand what it means and why it is important to be healthy and know how to achieve this. We believe that central to achieving their very best, children need to be confident and highly skilled in the core subjects of reading, writing and maths.

As a proud member of the Aurora Academies Trust, we value greatly the distinct features of our school. We are a school that places great value on sport, exercise and physical activity. We hold the top award of School Games Mark – Gold, and this is due to the strong culture of Physical Education we have at our school and the commitment of our staff. At City Academy Whitehawk, every child can expect access to two hours high quality PE lessons each week, numerous clubs and many sporting opportunities.
