We welcomed Laura Ashcroft, Sefton Children's University Coordinator, to our assemblies to launch Children's University at Great Crosby. She told us about all the ways that we can gain credits towards the graduation rewards at the ends of Years 2 and 6.
Children will be able to gain credits by attending school clubs at lunchtimes or after school. They can also gain credits at clubs that have signed up as Children's University Learning Providers, where they can have their passports stamped. Children's University passports will be available to order at parents evenings for £5.
There will be more details in the near future.

Children’s University is a national charitable organisation that provides young people with exciting and innovative learning activities and experiences outside of normal school hours. The innovative Passport to Learning encourages children from the age of five to try new learning experiences in and outside of school; at after-school clubs, at home, in the local library, museum or further afield.
Children’s University culminates in an inspirational graduation ceremony at the end of Year 2 and Year 6. The adventurous programme encourages children to see the joy of learning, giving them a sense of wonder, developing their confidence, and opening their eyes to a brighter future. Raising children’s aspirations is the driving force behind Children’s University and the aim is to develop the understanding that learning can be the navigator to better places in life.
