Absolutely love this! 🌟
Children from @JosephLockePS singing & signing our @SheffieldCU song so beautifully. Such a powerful reminder of what CU is all about - belonging, confidence, and celebrating every child.
So proud to be part of our wider South Yorkshire CU family. 🎓

I was so proud of Imaani. This is a brilliant achievement. I also loved seeing her applaud all the other pupils. She’s a credit to you. Thank you to @RotherhamCU for a memorable evening.❤️❤️

So thrilled with the response to our CU Masterclass pilot – over 1,800 pupils in 20 schools across just 2 sessions! Ended on a high full of puzzles, energy and purpose with @imagigaming & huge thanks to @Amaze_Lab for kicking us off in style.
Full launch next year! 🚀👇

Such a thoughtful piece, shared by our CU friends in Tasmania. A reminder that belonging, joy and curiosity matters just as much as outcomes. Not everything of value can be measured – but it can still mean everything.
📖 Well worth a read: powertopersuade.org.au/blog/…

What a day. Today’s #SYCUConference25 was everything I hoped for – and more. In the middle of the usual mid-term juggle, the energy in that room reminded me exactly why this work matters. Forever proud to be part of our brilliant South Yorkshire CU community. 🎓

Really looking forward to the South Yorkshire CU Schools Conference this week. In a stretched system, time out can feel like a big ask — but that’s exactly why it matters. A chance to reflect, reconnect & feel the power of belonging in this brilliant network. #SYCUconference2025

A joyful evening full of pride and celebration, made possible by brilliant teamwork (and, according to my watch, 17 flights of stairs! 😅). Thanks to all that joined us to celebrate - SO proud of all of our award winners🎓✨

Exams matter—but they don’t tell the whole story. At @SheffieldCU, we champion the confidence, curiosity & creativity built through enrichment. These experiences help children thrive—in school, in life & beyond. They're the future, and they’re already amazing! 🌟

Another milestone moment for us here at @SheffieldCU! 🚀 Inspired by @SeftonCU & @ElevateEBP, we launched our first CU Masterclass with the brilliant @Amaze_Lab this afternoon — and the response from our CU schools was phenomenal! More opportunities coming soon… 👀

We caught Matt Hamshaw's dad, Phil, for a chat outside Sixfields Stadium to see how he was feeling ahead of the new boss' first game in charge.

IT'S HERE, IT'S HERE! 💖🎶😆
SO proud to share Anything I Want to Be! 💛🎶 More than a song, it’s a celebration of believing in yourself & chasing dreams, everything that @SheffieldCU is about. I really hope you love it as much as we do!
