Workshops and visits

The Wonderful Water Tour is an innovative educational roadshow created to inspire and educate children across our region all about the wonderful world of water.

We live and breathe water at Severn Trent. Not a day passes without us exploring new ways to source it, look after it and ensure all our customers can enjoy it every day of the year.

Our passionate team of Education Officers are determined to visit every primary school in our region to share this knowledge, offering a range of free activities as well as site visits for primary schools and community groups.

Primary school visits

We offer assembly sessions and workshops. Most schools choose both options as they work well together and help inspire the children.

Our team of educators are experts in making our free sessions interactive, informative and most of all fun! We’d love to host an assembly in person or if you prefer we can deliver it through our livestream video option.

Interactive buses

We can bring our two amazing interactive buses to your school, community centre or local event, helping children from ages 7 to 11 to bring the wonders of water to life.

You can arrange for both buses to come to your event, or just one of them depending on the needs and goal of your event.

The Digibus provides an immersive digital experience.

Put on some virtual reality glasses and enter a world where you can track a raindrop from the sky, through the water treatment process, to the home, back through the sewers and the waste treatment process, before it travels out to the river.

You’ll also be able to watch an animated video where our characters, Molly and Robbie, take you on a journey across the world to see how vital water is followed by an interactive quiz to see what you’ve learnt.

Step into the role of a water worker!

Imagine yourself as a scientist, an engineer, a call centre operative and much more to learn what it’s like to work in the water industry.

You'll be able to play games like ‘flush it or bin it’ and ‘fix the pipes’ to learn why we need to value water as a precious resource.

You can register your interest in having a visit from our buses and our team will get in touch you to discuss what's possible.

School or college careers events

We try to attend as many careers events at schools and colleges in our region as possible. With so many educational insitutions in our area, we can't always get to every event.

If you're interested in a career in the water industry, and you weren't able to speak to us at a careers event or would just like to know more, please get in touch with us at potential@severntrent.co.uk and we'll answer your questions. We'd love to hear from you!
