Children’s University is an award winning, critically acclaimed programme that aims to take education outside of the normal school day. By encouraging children to take part in exciting and educational activities, Children’s University hopes to create an equal level of opportunity for all children.

“By the time a child turns 18, they will have spent just 9% of their waking life in a classroom. Children’s University is about making the most of the remaining 91%.”

There are rewards for completion of activities too – bonus!

For every activity the children get involved in, they earn a stamp in their Passport to Learning. The more stamps they collect, the more certificates they earn. There are bronze, silver and gold level certificates up for grabs.

For children who have achieved a gold level, they will be invited to a graduation ceremony either at UCW or it will be facilitated virtually by the North Somerset Children’s University to celebrate their success.

If you are based in the North Somerset region and would like to be involved in this fantastic initiative, please get in contact with us at: childrens.university@weston.ac.uk.
