An experiment in 'brain hydration' carried out at an Essex 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.

CAPITAL WATER FOR SCHOOLS COMMITMENT

Capital Water is committed to encouraging children to drink more water during their school life. At Capital we are committed in raising awareness in schools for easy access to quality drinking water for every pupil through school water coolers.

Drinking more water' in schools is backed by doctors who have for a long time identified lack of water as having a serious effect on children’s 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.
