CU Families Membership:

Children’s University Families Membership is open to children whose schools are not a Children’s University Membership School.

We have a great animation on our website which explains how Children’s University works and we would encourage you to take a look, we have linked the animation here

The Children’s University wants every child who takes part to:

  • Feel that they have grown in confidence and self-belief.
  • Enjoy new experiences, in new places and want to keep exploring.
  • Believe they have a broader range of essential skills.
  • Feel empowered to make positive choices about their future.
  • See that learning is fun, aspirational and lifelong.
  • Feel that their eyes have been opened to a multiplicity of learning activities and opportunities.
  • Feel celebrated for the commitment to learning by their family, school and community.

Our growing list of Learning Destinations in Essex can be found on our website, with regular updates on suitable Learning Activities.
