Sheffield CU - How does it make a difference?

It's here, it's here! We are very pleased and proud to share with you our new look 2018 ‘Sheffield Children’s University – How does it make a difference?’ report which provides detailed evidence of the positive impact being part of Children’s University in Sheffield makes.

Any school, Learning Destination, family or child will tell you that being part of CU and being celebrated and rewarded for taking part in out of school activities makes a real difference. Here in Sheffield, we do lots of work looking at the impact of participation in these activities, through lots of data analysis, but also through case studies and evidence collected from schools, providers, parents and the children themselves. With over 45,000 children and young people in our city with CU credits, we have a lot of information to work with!

This report builds on our previous analysis and includes a detailed look at the impact of participation in CU activities on achievement, attendance and progress in school, as well as the stories behind the data, providing evidence of impact through a number of case studies. It incorporates recently introduced performance measures as well as examining the impact on the most vulnerable children and young people in the city and progression routes for post 16 students.

And the results are overwhelmingly positive! Click here to view the full report: https://tinyurl.com/SheffieldCUImpactReport2019
