Our targets are to work with 43 schools across North Wales (9 of which must be secondary schools) and 1000 young people. 500 of which must attend the Graduation ceremony having attained 30 hours of extracurricular activity.

We will need your help in identifying, training and supporting young people in your setting that will benefit from the Children’s University.

We envisage that the application process will be very popular with schools in the region so please, only apply, if you are certain that you can fulfil the SERVICE LEVEL AGREEMENT.
