Evaluation of Children’s University ‘12 Prof John MacBeath - University of Cambridge Attendance Children participating in CU activities have better attendance records than children in the same school who do not participate. Attainment CU engaged children attain more highly than their non-CU counterparts; this correlates with the length of time children are involved with CU activities. Aspiration To succeed in other contexts, to visit places beyond one’s own neighbourhood, to see the inside of a university of the first time. Adaptability Of children, teachers and schools.
