About Us
The Colchester Children's University™ is a part of the national Children's University™ organisation that provides 7 to 14 year olds with exciting and innovative learning activities and experiences outside normal school hours.
We celebrate achievement and reward participation through our certificates.
Raising children's aspirations is important to us and we aim to develop the understanding that learning can be the satellite navigation to better places in life!
