Kent Children's University
We provide informal learning opportunities primarily via
Learning Destinations within Kent County
Council schools, at three dedicated hub-schools and at a range of
top tourist attractions around the county. Each activity is
designed to boost attainment, self confidence and social skills as
well as to encourage children to develop a love of learning.
The scheme is open to children of all abilities
aged between 7 and 14 years old.
The scheme has been operating in the county since 1998. We are
the longest continuously operating Children's University in the
UK.
We were awarded Advanced Recognition Status by QiSS (Quality
in Study Support) in 2007, and in July 2010 successfully
revalidated at this level.
We are keen to work in partnership with even more schools and
tourist attractions in 2011. To find out what benefits working in partnership with KCU
