If you’re aged between 5 and 14, the Suffolk Children’s
UniversityTM (SCU) gives you the opportunity to take
part in a wide range of different activities outside normal school
hours. If you sign up to an SCU-led activity, you can be sure it’s
safe and will develop your knowledge and skills in a number of
areas.
What activities are on offer?
SCU activities have been broken down into 6
categories with different symbol to give you a good idea as to what
type of activity you’re taking part in:

Active:These
will mostly be sporting activities such as football, tennis and
basketball. Outdoor adventure activities and orienteering clubs
will also be classed as ‘Active’ activities. |

Academic
: These activities build on the work you do in
school. You could impove your maths, computing and science skills
or learn to speak another language. |

: Arts activities are the focus of this 'creative'
category. If you’re a budding artist, you may wish to join a
dance or arts and crafts club, learn how to act or play an
instrument.

Culture: What
was your town or village like 25,50,75 or 100 years ago? Maybe
you would enjoy reenactments of days gone by? If this sort of thing
interests you, then there may be a local history club you can
participate in. |
 |
Nature:
If you enjoy exploring the environment, then you may wish
to take part in 'Nature' SCU activities. These
activities may involve gardening or
birdwatching. |
 |
Service
: Do you enjoy helping people whilst learning new
skills along the way? If you take part in a first aid course, for
example, then it may be credited through the SCU
passport. |
