CHILDREN'S UNIVERSITY LEAFLET
We are proud to be an integral part of the University of Wolverhampton Children's University and run the Programme from year 2-6.The Children's University is a charity that encourages and celebrates participation in extra-curricular activities, both in and outside of school, in order to develop a love of learning in children. There is evidence that joining a Children's University can make a real difference to children's confidence, social skills, achievement, and attendance at school.
Our first Children’s University graduation was held at Featherstone Academy on 3rd December 2019. Pupils and parents came together to celebrate the achievements of Year 5. This year we are excited for every child in years 2-6 to have the opportunity to benefit from the programme.
How can I achieve my award?
Children are able to collect stamps in their Children’s University Passport to Learning. Usually, one session or activity is worth one stamp. Stamps can be collected at after school clubs, holiday schemes and validated Learning Destinations. You can also collect stamps by completing half termly challenges set by Children’s University or attending Art Galleries and Museums.

Clubs outside school…
You can earn stamps by attending clubs outside of school such as brownies, cubs or swimming lessons. Check with your group/club leader to see if they may already be a Learning Destination, if not you can give them a Learning Destination Voucher.
Any afterschool clubs run by the school that your child attends can also count towards stamps therefore please ensure these are accounted for.
How many stamps do I need?
Each stamp you collect brings you closer to a Children’s University Award, presented at a graduation ceremony at the end of the academic year.
This year we are moving to an online system where your child will be given a login once logged in they can input their own hours by obtaining a code from the activity venue they attend. Although this is the preferred method of use Mrs Nicholls is always on hand to support pupils that do not have access to a computer or the internet and there is also the option of just sending paper copies of their hours achieved at the end of each month.
