New water-saving competition for schools

Our Water Protectors module for primary schools is helping pupils understand the importance of saving water, and your school can win a one-day poetry workshop in our new water-saving competition.

Calling all primary schools

Our Water Protectors Competition is open to schools in Kent, Hampshire, Sussex and the Isle of Wight. We’re challenging schools to keep track of their water saving over a one-week period for a chance to win some amazing prizes.

  • Top prize: one-day whole school poetry workshop with James Carter (author of Once Upon a Raindrop) and water bottles for the class.
  • Three runner up prizes: zoom workshops with James Carter plus water bottles for the class. 
Register to take part

Three simple steps to enter

  1. Register and download your competition pack, then self-deliver our launch assembly or join us for our LIVE webinar assembly on 12th May 2025.
  2. Hand out a tracking sheet to each child to record their water saving across one week and record these on the class poster.
  3. Get creative! Children can get creative at the end of the week by designing a poster, comic strip or writing a poem to show their water-saving journey. Then simply take a photo of these on display for your class entry.

Every small action can make a difference so, let’s show the incredible impact we can have when we come together with simple water-saving habits. 

Water Saving Week is a Waterwise nationwide campaign that runs from 12th-16th May but you can choose any week between 28th April and 30th June to run the Water Protectors competition with your class.

Our Education team can come out to deliver your assembly for you - pending availability. If you're interested, please email education@southernwater.co.uk with the subject line 'Water Protectors competition assembly enquiry'.
