Please take a look at the Christmas edition of the Children's University (CU) Passport to Learning newsletter (mobile users click here), which contains information about activities taking place across the city in the Christmas holidays – from the Winter Reading Challenge, pantomimes, trails, Santa's Study, arts and crafts, literacy, gaming, coding, climbing, multi-sports, and more...there really is something for everyone! There are also links to hundreds of home learning activities and full lists of Sheffield, Rotherham and Doncaster Learning Destinations too.

All activities will earn CU credits if children have a CU Passport to Learning, which will all go towards their CU awards. Some activities are charged for while others are free and some require booking in advance. You can buy a Passport to Learning (£3.50) from any Sheffield Library (if you attend a Sheffield School or are a member of our Home Education scheme) to earn awards for doing the things you love!

What is the Children's University?

The CU encourages children and young people to take part in extra learning activities in their own time and to earn CU credits, leading to certificates and badges.  Pupils have fun and make new friends as well as develop confidence, motivation and essential life skills.
