Curriculum Archive (Pre-2020)

This section of the website is serves as an archive for curriculum and pedagogy materials at City Academy Whitehawk.

Our Paragon curriculum taught between 2017 and 2018 is something that was unique to Aurora Academy schools at the time. It is a humanities based curriculum that takes children on a journey through time from ancient history up to the modern day. There are six units a year that build upon each other to give children a strong understanding of how ideas and discoveries throughout history have been formed. There is a strong moral and ethical focus within Paragon and it teaches children to be inquisitive, open minded and aware of the impact of great cultures through history. Paragon lessons are hands on, engaging and a lot of fun. They bring subjects together so that learning time is maximised and all children can show off their strengths. We hold a Paragon event at the end of each half term when parents, carers, friends and wider family are invited into school to share in the children’s learning.
