  • Are You Looking for Something Fun and Exciting to Do Over the Spring Half Term Holidays?
    Spring 2018 Easter 2015 Are you looking for something fun and exciting to do over the Spring half term holidays? There are lots of fun and exciting activities taking place outside of normal school hours in different places across Sheffield and beyond where children and young people can collect learning credits. These credits will be added to the ones some children collect in some schools to earn Children’s University Awards. To collect these credits, they need a Passport to Learning. These are available to purchase at Sheffield libraries and some Learning Destinations. Remember, the credits lead to a series of 30 special award certificates and badges. …and at those intervals up to 1000 hours! Do you have your Children’s University Passport to Learning yet? If the answer is yes, then that’s great news! BUT, to make sure you are awarded the credits you have earned, the Learning Destinations in Sheffield MUST put your details on a register AND send that register into us! If they don’t, we won’t know where you have visited and can’t award your credits. It might be that their staff are really busy and they’ve forgotten, or they might be new to the organisation and have simply forgotten that we need the register. So, every time you visit a SHEFFIELD Learning Destination, remind them to keep a register AND send it into us! Remember, if there’s no register, it means no credits! They can always contact us for help and we can visit them to explain the process if we need to.

  • + Diocese of Sheffield DAC Guidance Notes
    +Diocese of Sheffield DAC Guidance Notes List of Approved Architects and Surveyors 2013- 2017 Updated February 2015 1 List of Approved QI Architects & Surveyors 2013- 2017 2 Quinquennial Inspections (QI) PCCs are required to commission a full inspection of the church building and its curtilage once every five years. This is a statutory requirement under The Inspection of Churches Measure 1955 (Quinquennial Inspections) Care of Churches and Ecclesiastical Jurisdiction Measure 1991. Under the Measure, only those architects and surveyors approved by the DAC can undertake the Quinquennial Inspection of a church. In order to fulfil their responsibilities under the Measure, PCCs who fail in their duty in this regard may find that the Archdeacon will commission an inspection for which the PCC will have to pay. The importance of regular inspections by architects and surveyors who specialise in the conservation and repair of historic buildings cannot be over-emphasised. Historic and 'traditional' structures deteriorate in a manner that is very different from modern buildings and it takes a specialist to identify correctly defects that require attention from the superficial results of the ageing process. The five yearly QI report is one of the most important tools for the church in understanding and maintaining the fabric of its building. A QI report should include a list of recommended works in order of urgency, most of which will require a detailed specification and schedule to be submitted as a faculty application prior to the work being carried out. If your QI report does not include such a list, please refer your Church Inspector to the template available on the diocesan website that sets out the required content of a QI report.

  • Passport Activity Newsletter
    Passport Activity Newsletter Spring 2020 Welcome to the Spring edition of our Sheffield CU Passport Activity Newsletter. As a result of the Covid-19 pandemic, many of our Learning Destinations are not running activities as normal, which means this newsletter is much smaller than usual. But fear not, we’ve still included some of their activities and others may still be delivering activities online or via Zoom etc. CU credits can be earned by taking part in these and Learning Destinations will be sending us registers as usual. Others may be producing online, downloadable activities so keep an eye on their websites and social media for more info. We’re also continuing with our 2020: Year of the Nurse and Midwife activities and they’re all included in this newsletter, so there’s plenty to choose from. We’ve now published out 50th daily CU Home Learning Challenge since schools closed to most pupils, and we’re LOVING seeing your photos, videos and examples of the fantastic learning you’ve been choosing to do at home! Do keep sharing them with us. There is information on each of the challenges which explains how you can claim CU credits for completing these challenges if you normally attend a Sheffield school and have a Passport to Learning. If you see challenges published by other CUs, then do feel free to complete them. To claim your CU credits, you’ll need to download a diary sheet from our website (or use the one attached to the back of this newsletter!) and email it in to us to make sure your credits are counted! Find Learning Destinations in Sheffield (www.sheffield.gov.uk/cu) and beyond at www.childrensuniversity.co.uk If you would like to join our Parent/Carer Mailing list to receive updates, activity information and news, please email [email protected] .
