Kent Children's University invites you to come along and have fun outside of normal school time.
We offer exciting, friendly and fun learning. This takes place either after school, at weekends or during the school holidays.

Kent Children's University is not extra schooling and our courses are open to all ability levels.
Our courses are very popular, last year we were able to offer places to over 4000 children. Feedback received shows that over 98% of these children had an enjoyable time, and would like to come back and do more activities with us.

Our most popular activity is called Learning Destinations. To take part you will require a Passport to Learning. These can be obtained directly from us, or from your school if it is affiliated.

Each time you take part in a validated learning activity you will receive a stamp in the passport. These can be exchanged for national certificates. Our gold awards are presented at a real university.

KCU Awards: all the winners
Children often have lots of questions about KCU, we have tried to answer the most frequent ones.
