HIGH-flying children from two Redditch schools have been awarded Gold, Silver and Bronze awards from the Children’s University.
Youngsters from Matchborough First School and Abbeywood First School attended the graduation ceremony at the University of Worcester to collect their awards from the Children’s University, which encourages learning outside of the classroom with a host of extra-curricular activities both in schools and at home.
Children from the two schools had been issued with a Learning Passport, which can be stamped for each activity they complete, including visits to various Learning Destinations across the Country.
Worcestershire Children’s University, which operates from the University of Worcester, is part of the Central Children’s University Trust and Annabel Collins, Worcestershire Children’s University Manager, said: “This year we have had a record 115 children, from schools across the county and we were delighted to reward them with a special graduation ceremony.
“The children really enjoyed wearing their cap and gowns and taking the chance to celebrate their amazing achievements in front of parents, teachers and members of the University of Worcester and Children’s University community.”
Awards are given at set numbers of hours achieved of extra-curricular learning, starting with a Bronze Award presented at 30 hours through to the top award of Gold Fellowship, conferred after achieving 1,000 hours.
