When do the activities take place?

All Suffolk Children's University (SCU) activities take place:

  • during school holidays.




What do I get for taking part?

Everyone who completes a SCU activity should get an official  SCU certificate from their club leader. Not all of your stickers can be collected from the same category of SCU activity for you to be presented with a Special Achievement Certificate (this encourages you to try activities you would not normally consider doing.)  See table below.
