Passport to Learning
The ‘Passport to Learning’ has been created for children aged 7 to 14 years (and 5 and 6 year olds with accompanied with grown-ups) to collect 'stamps' and hours of accredited learning!
Passport to Learning Stamps
Collecting stamps contributes to the award of a certificate, encouraging them to access Children's University™ provision and a wide range of other worthwhile out-of-school-hours learning opportunities. The ‘Passport to Learning’ is an essential component / tool for participating schools when logging a child’s additional hours in the wider community environment.

How to record your visit
Children visiting with a ‘Passport to Learning’ must ask a member of staff to record their visit in their passport. Children must participate in the accredited activity prior to their ‘Passport to Learning’ being stamped and then the pre-agreed number of hours / credits for that particular activity are recorded.
Passports must not be stamped for activities that have not yet taken place or for activities that have been delivered prior to the organisation achieving validated status on the National Children’s University™ website.

Prices
Visiting schools will be charged £8.25 per child for an Educational Visit. Supervision is based on a 1:5 ratio for reception children, 1:6, for key stage one, 1:10 for key stage two.
When this ratio is exceeded, we then charge £4.75 per head for the extra adults. A non-refundable booking deposit of £50.00 is required to confirm your chosen date. The outstanding balance must be paid in full on the day or prior to arrival.
School Group Rooms
Visiting schools and groups are assigned a room as a base, to store packed lunches, coats, etc. There is no extra cost for this service, but we do ask that it is left as it was found, clean and ready for use. On busy days, large rooms may be split with a partition.
