Children’s University Awards

Over 350 school children from across the borough will graduate from the Doncaster Children’s University at ceremonies at Doncaster College this year.

The events will be held over 4 days at Doncaster College’s Hub campus at the end of June and the beginning of July.

The children have achieved a combined total of over 18,000 extra hours of learning at clubs and camps at Doncaster College, schools and other learning places throughout the region.

Gervase Phinn, the Chancellor of Doncaster Children’s University will attend the event and speak to children and parents about the importance of learning outside the classroom and the funny side of Education. Among other guests will be George Trow, Principal and Chief Executive of Doncaster College, and Hilary Robinson children’s author and radio producer.

Doncaster is unique as it is the only Children's University based in a Further Education college. It offers opportunities to all children and young people aged between 7 and 14 through their schools' involvement with the scheme. Over 20 schools in the Doncaster area have joined Children's University.
