Important Announcement: Sheffield CU May Award Ceremonies

After recommendation from Sheffield Hallam University in light of current circumstances, we can now confirm that we are postponing the Sheffield CU award ceremonies which were due to take place on Wednesday 6th May 2020 at the campus in the city centre. These ceremonies were for children who attend Sheffield schools which ARE NOT subscribed to Sheffield CU and who collect CU credits using a Passport to Learning only. Invitations for these events would have been posted to families next week so we wanted to ensure we shared this information as soon as possible and confirm that unfortunately we are unable to issue any CU awards at this time. We will provide any further updates about future ceremonies and awards as and when we are able to do so.

Although our award ceremonies will not go ahead in May, we’re still busy working away in the background. Our team have all been working remotely since 17th March with limited access to our database, children’s CU credit records, emails, etc. As a result of this and as the libraries are closed, it also means that we cannot access our stock so unfortunately we cannot take online or phone orders for Passports to Learning at this time too. However, these can be purchased from Sheffield libraries once they are open again, so if you didn’t get a Passport to Learning before they closed, don’t panic! CU Credits earned by completing our CU Home Learning Challenges will be accredited to children whose families submit the activity evidence alongside a reflection sheet (which can be downloaded here: https://bit.ly/SheffCUReflectionDiary), detailing their child’s Passport to Learning number.

For now, we will continue to develop our wide range of CU Home Learning Challenges which are shared across our social media channels each day. We are LOVING seeing all your fantastic learning and fabulous creations so please do keep tagging us in your pictures – they really do keep us going!

As always, we sincerely appreciate your support and understanding at this time. Thank you and have a lovely weekend!
