Celebrate!

Children from Anns Grove Primary receive their Gold Awards

Our 27th Gold Awards Ceremony took place on Wednesday 3rd July 2014 with over 200 children, parents and carers and school staff descending on the Town Hall to celebrate in style.

Children from 9 schools attended along with their parents and carers and were presented with their awards by the Deputy Lord Mayor, Councillor Talib Hussain, Cabinet Member for Children, Young People and Families, Councillor Jackie Drayton and Assistant Director of Lifelong Learning, Skills and Communities, Sam Martin. There was also a marketplace where some of our fantastic Learning Destinations displayed information about their activities and involved parents/carers, children in their demonstrations.

During the ceremony, there were some fantastic performances from Mia Cockyane and Hannah Pearson from Razzamataz Theatre School Sheffield, and pupil speaker from HBH Academy - Hartley Brook who spoke about their experiences of Children's University in school.

Tempest Photography were also on hand to take portrait photos of children and their familes in their caps and gowns, and our CU Souvenirs superstars Sakina and Leah were very busy making sure awards badges were securely fastened to newly purchased CU lanyards!

HUGE congratulations to our fantastic award winners, their parents/carers and school staff. We are so very very proud of all of you! A special thanks too to our spectacular events team - Sakina, Leah and Chris We couldn't do it without you!
