We know that children who thrive in school and in later life develop their confidence, aspirations and love of learning from the skills, characteristics and passions they develop both in and beyond the classroom.
Here at Sheffield CU, we encourage children and young people from the age of 5 to try new learning experiences in and outside of school; at breakfast, lunchtime and after school clubs and in their own time, in the local library, museum or further afield.
Culminating in an inspirational graduation ceremony, this learning adventure gives children and young people the opportunity to enrich their childhoods, nurture a lifelong love of learning, unlock their skills and talents and develop their aspirations and confidence regardless of their backgrounds.
So how do we know that taking part in Sheffield CU makes a difference? Well, we do lots of work looking at the impact of participation in these activities. With over 47,000 children and young people in our city with CU credits logged in our database, we have a lot of information to work with!
And the results speak for themselves! Children and young people who take part in Sheffield CU activities consistently do better than those who aren’t involved, and they make more progress too.
Don’t believe us? Then see for yourself!
