New Forest Children's University
The Hive*, a registered charity, has been commissioned to manage the New Forest Children’s University, who have successfully delivered Children’s University in The London Borough of Croydon since 2011.
New Forest Children’s University is open to all schools in the New Forest. We do support children who attend local schools who are not currently in membership with Children’s University and home educated children.
We work closely with a wide range of educational organisations in the New Forest and sit on several Education Forums. Our partnerships include The New Forest National Park Authority, The New Forest Heritage Centre, local libraries, leisure centres, museums, galleries and The University of Winchester.
We are proud that Aaron Phipps, former team GB Paralympian has agreed to be our Chancellor. Our patrons are Dan Snow, The History Man and Professor Chris Brown, Professor of Education at University of Portsmouth.
If you want to get involved with New Forest Children’s University or want to find out more, get in touch.
Blackfield Primary School have kindly offered us some office space to provide us with a local base.
