Children's University
Southey Green School is registered with Sheffield Children's University.
After-school activities run through the week up to 4pm and during some school holidays. These are advertised by being displayed in each classroom. Students who attend full sessions will build up credits for their commitment through the Sheffield Children's University. Each hour that students participate in extracurricular activities earns them 1 credit. These credits are then recorded and rewarded with an invite to the Awards Ceremonies where students will collect an achievement certificate and badge. Students can also order their passport to learning from the Main Office in school priced at just £4.50, these then can be taken to other activity destinations throughout Sheffield to earn their credits.
Below is the framework to show calculation of credits per certificate.
