We work closely with schools across our supply areas through a variety of educational and practical programmes aimed at promoting water efficiency and environmental awareness from a young age.
Find out below what we do to raise awareness among young people about the value of water and empower them to make positive changes in their homes, schools and communities.
School visits and talks
Do you have an upcoming assembly or relevant class session that you’d like us to come along to and chat about our work? We can offer talks to help students understand where their water comes from, how it is made safe to drink and how to use water wisely. We can also demonstrate how our free water-saving devices like shower timers work.
AquaSmart
We’ve developed an interactive online portal called AquaSmart aimed at Key Stage 1 children (aged 5-7) which offers downloadable activities, missions and games to teach them about the importance of saving water. Children can go on to become ‘water ambassadors’ who influence their families to be more water efficient.
Once completed, each child will receive a certificate of achievement to complete their folders. We will then present the schools with a certificate of completion and a water butt to thank them for their participation and further their water efficiency journey.
Ready for your school to embark on an adventure to learn more about saving water and looking after wildlife?
Book a water-saving visit
In partnership with a delivery partner, we’re offering free water-saving visits for schools. During the visit, an engineer will:
- Assess the fittings
- Check for minor leaks and make repairs where possible
- Install water-saving fittings for free
- Make recommendations for where a school can be more water-efficient
