Doncaster Children's University™ Ceremonies

Nearly 150 children from across the borough are expected to graduate from the Children’s University at Doncaster College at the end of June.

This is the fourth year of the ceremonies and it just gets bigger and bigger.

To accommodate the increase in the number of children two ceremonies will be held this year on Monday 28^th and Tues 29th June both starting at 4pm in the drama hall at the Hub.

The Children, who will be wearing graduation caps and gowns, will be welcomed by College Principal George Trow and then presented with certificates before an audience of parents, carers, school staff and partner agencies. Guests include Ger Graus, Chief Executive of the National Children’s University and Chris Pratt, Director of Children’s Services at Doncaster Council.

As The Doncaster Children’s University continues to grow and become more successful, twenty five more organisations are waiting to join the twelve schools and partners currently involved and amongst the 80 or so universities nationwide it is in a unique position. It is the only one based in a college and it enjoys keen and enthusiastic support from the Principal and the College as a whole, and can call upon a broad range of expertise and facilities.

The aim of the Children’s University is to create an excitement about learning, to inspire and aspire , to encourage inquisitiveness and help children to become more confident and independent learners outside of school hours.
