Educational visits
We work with schools to encourage children to love and value water. Our activities, led by seconded teachers, equip pupils to become global citizens, with an understanding of sustainability and its impact on the local community. Thousands of pupils visit our Education Centre or receive a visit to their school each year and have a fantastic time - and it’s all FREE!

Our School Visits
Our award winning education team will visit your school or college to give an assembly where we teach children about all things to do with water! How we collect it, treat it, use it and clean it.
Our interactive workshops are led by seconded teachers who educate children through the most creative lessons and equip children to become water ambassadors, with an understanding climate change, community and Welsh Water’s business messages.
Our lessons such as our network challenge where the challenge was to create and plan a model water network to supply water to a village within a certain budget give children the opportunity to understand how a water company operates and how much effort goes into every drop.
You know what else is awesome, it could help your school achieve Eco-School status. Our only requirement is that you allow us to deliver an assembly to your whole school and run a water-saving planning session afterwards.
