Welcome to Bedfordshire Children's University

The Bedfordshire Children's University is 11 years old!  It offers a fantastic opportunity to develop abilities, skills and talents alongside like-minded children.  Bedfordshire Children's University brings together more than 1000 children this year, nominated by state and independent schools in Bedfordshire to take part in a week-long programme of master-classes.

In the Children's University week, itself, we have 5 strands - Academic, Technology, Creative Arts, Performing Arts and Sports to cater for the very diverse talents and aspirations of our children.  We work with teachers, lecturers, tutors, professional artists, performers and writers to devise courses, which will stimulate, excite, inspire and extend the potential of children. We give our course leader the freedom to plan programmes without National Curriculum constraints.  Our aim is to ensure that the children have one of the best extra-curricular learning opportunity of their school year and that they have fun.

All places on Bedfordshire Children's University are by invitation only, based on the nominations of school staff.

We keep our fees as low as possible by drawing together as many sources of funding as we can find.  We are also proud of our reputation for quality, friendliness and innovation. We are part of the National Children's University Network.

We would welcome endorsement, support or sponsorship from any organisation which would like to be associated with this prestigious programme.
