Become a CU Learning Destination!
“Over 85% of learning
occurs outside the school ….habitats outside the classroom – out
there in the wild – are where the best learning might take place.
It is certainly where most learning might already be taking place.
So it is important that we are all try to get out there in the wild
with our children as they adventure into exciting virgin territory
…remagicalising the world!” - James Bradburne.
Do you offer after school
clubs or special activities for children to get involved in that
are voluntary, have learning outcomes but most of all are fun?
Would you like to reward
those children who participate and encourage others to join in and
help raise aspirations for all children?
Then why not become a Childrens University®
Learning Destination?
We are a national
organisation with local centres; our aim is to focus on creating
excitement about learning, on inspiration and aspiration and on
encouraging inquisitiveness. Children’s University™
learning is about becoming confident and independent learners
drawing on local learning opportunities within a national
framework.
It is also about developing
the recognition that learning – any time, any place anywhere – can
be a personalised satellite navigation system to better places and
that it should be fun!

Information for Schools
We want to work in partnership and develop modules that will
help the national curriculum. You give us a gap and we will
endeavour to fill it!
We have a menu of modules for schools to choose from. The modules

The Government intends that by 2010 all
schools should become extended schools offering access to a core
offer of five extended services. Schools may choose to provide
these services themselves, offer them through clustering
arrangements or use third party providers prom the private,
voluntary and community sectors.
Children’s University™ is taking
steps to help schools provide high quality study support delivered
after school by gathering together a list of individuals and
organisations that deliver high quality after school clubs,
activities or special events.
