Re: york children's university
The Children’s University (CU) aims to promote social mobility by providing access to high quality out-of-school hours Learning Activities to children aged 7 to 14, engaging the wider communities as Learning Destination partners in this process. At the heart of its work is its ambition to raise aspiration, boost achievement and foster a love of learning. Its principle is that participation is voluntary and it is intentionally something other than school – with a different feel, different activities and often taking part in a different location. Alongside its work with 7 to 14 year olds it has extended its reach to 5 and 6 year olds where involvement requires a degree of demonstrable active commitment by parents, carers and the wider family: the idea of volunteering to this younger age group is clearly very different to that of the older children and a greater degree of grown up guidance and support will be needed. The ultimate evidence to the effectiveness of University is that, with an expanding Child Membership, it know that children are motivated to give up the time to attend and with the comments and recommendations of parents, teachers, learning providers and the children themselves, it know they are engaged and inspired too.
