We are very proud to be one of the first Rotherham schools to be part of Rotherham Children's University.

 

The Children's University is a celebration of extracurricular activities that children participate in. Children can earn credits for attending and taking part in various activities outside the normal school day. These credits then lead to awards and celebrations and a graduation ceremony.

Mrs Moore leads on the Children's University, she can be contacted for further information by calling th school office.

Children that are part of the school council, anti bullying ambassadors and play ground leaders will accumulate credits which our admin team will add to their individual dashboard. This is the same for children that attend after school clubs.  

If you child's club is not currently a 'learning destination' with the Children's University, then they can be encouraged to attend. A member of the Children's University team will discuss the benefits with them.

Our school council have applied for the Acorn fund through the Children's University on several occasions and have been successful in being awarded money for a new after school club and for playground equipment. 

 

In the academic year 22/23 Mrs Moore attended the Children's University Graduation at University Centre Rotherham to celebrate one of our pupils achieving the Gold award for completing 100 hours in extracurricular activities. 

In the academic year 23/24 Miss Cliff celebrated with 10 pupils at Wales High School. These 10 pupils achieved 100 hours in extra curricular learning.

In the academic year 24/25 Mrs Moore and Miss Cliff joined in the celebration of 14 pupils that achieved their gold awards with the graduation at Wales High School. 

It is great to see more pupils each year achieving this special award. Could you be one of the pupils attending this years graduation?

 

 

 

 

Through the Children's University we have also taken part in 'Project in a box' initiatives. These have included Yes Chef!, Climate Change and Quidditch. These have been delivered in school by staff that were trained with these resources. This has been a great experience for some of our pupils at after-school clubs.
