Water for Schools

An experiment in 'brain hydration' carried out at an Edinburgh primary school showed that the introduction of water bottles on pupils' desks led to a significant improvement in national test results over a 2 year period.

Better concentration 

The benefits of drinking water include better concentration and improved academic performance.

Despite these important facts, 2 thirds of children are still not getting enough drinking water, and a 5th of children drink no water at all, according to research conducted by the Department of Health and Food Standards Agency.

Water is Cool Campaign 

The 'Water is cool' in schools initiative spearheaded by AquAid, Britains leading supplier of school water coolers, is changing this. Water is cool in schools is all about raising the drinking water standards in schools throughout the United Kingdom by providing easy access to quality drinking water for every pupil through school water coolers.

'Water is cool' in schools is backed by doctors who have for a long time identified lack of water as having a serious effect on childrens performance; a recent health survey found that 10% of schools provide NO drinking water for their pupils and 28% had only one tap, usually in the toilet!

Some of the benefits of children drinking water from school water coolers include:

• Performance is maintained throughout the day with fewer children flagging during the last hour or two of the afternoon
• Profitable learning time is extended
• Work is neater
• No need for children to make an excuse to go to the toilet during lessons to have a drink
• Children appear not to be so tired when they get home at the end of the school day
• Fewer 3:30pm headaches
  

There's nothing cool about a lack of fresh drinking water at school for kids. For around £1.00 per pupil per annum we can provide quality, crystal clear, great tasting, chilled water, at all times.

Install 4 school water coolers and your school will provide a life saving water pump for needy children in Africa.
