Hats off to a new school year!

We have had a very exciting delivery at Sheffield CU HQ today - brand new graduation style caps, gowns and sashes! Well, we are a University after all...

Our Helen just couldn't resist trying one on!

This academic year children and young people who are invited to attend one of our award ceremonies will be given the opporunity to have a professional photograph taken with their certificate in a special Sheffield CU graduation style cap and gown. Tempest Photography will be attending each of our award ceremonies from now on, offering all award winners a free photo-shoot and the opportunity to order prints directly with Tempest following the event.

After a long period of collecting feedback from both parents/carers and children and young people, it was obvious that whilst some children and young people would love the opportunity to wear a graduation style cap and gown to receive their certificate, some children and young people were happier being able dress in their own clothes.

As a result, we felt we wanted all children and young people to have the opportunity to celebrate their fantastic achievements and feel special, but in a way in which they feel most comfortable. We hope all our award winners will give the caps and gowns a try, and of course we will continue to collect feedback on this development.

We look forward to seeing you in your caps and gowns at an awards ceremony soon!
