Welcome to Hull Children's University

The Children’s University is an innovative and dynamic project that raises children’s self-esteem, achievements and learning aspirations through the delivery of literacy focused programmes.

The Hull Children’s University has many partners including the local City Council, schools, businesses, media, sports institutions, Higher Education, voluntary and community groups and the University of Hull.

The aim of Hull Children’s University is to provide a ‘Tool Kit’ for young people, preparing them for the exhilarating journey of life. This is based upon 6 concepts which embrace both academic and emotional intelligence as well as social, moral, ethical, physical, political and health education.

The University’s teaching styles consider the diverse learning styles of young people and underpins its content with the teaching of literacy skills namely reading, writing, speaking and listening.

Mentor support is part of the package and the University attempts to recruit, CRB check, train and equip voluntary mentors, from all walks of life, with the necessary skills to support young people in their learning.

Having fun and learning away from the classroom and local community are high on Hull Children’s University’s agenda as it aims to broaden a young person’s outlook and experience of life which can often become so insular and narrow. The Children’s University seeks to nurture creativity, entrepreneurialism and lateral thinking as well as developing a young person’s love and thirst for learning.

Hull Children’s University aims to develop young people WANTING TO LEARN in order to create independent lifelong learners. Together with a positive, optimistic and confident approach it believes that young people can develop a ‘CAN DO’ mentality and realise that they all possess a special talent and should never miss an opportunity to use it.
