Education

Our free education service is designed for all ages – if you’re a teacher, group leader, lecturer or parent, learn more about the support we offer.

About our education service

Through our tailored education sessions, we support all age groups, from children in preschool to students in university.

We cover a range of topics, including water and sewage treatment, environmental studies, climate change, plastic pollution, STEM, the water cycle, river studies, microorganisms and much more!

We can hold the session at your school or premises, at one of our education centres or virtually. If you come to us, we can also take you on a tour of one of our water treatment or water recycling centres.
