A campaign to encourage ready access to water throughout te school day has been going for over a dozen years – Water is Cool in School campaign.

Hydrated pupils are healthier, do better in school from better attainment and behaviour. That’s typically 6-8 glasses a day.

In March 2007 I asked a formal question about how many schools in Southwark adhere to ready water access. I was told 54% of schools provide this measured via the Healthy School Status.

What’s the current rate?

I’ll find out.
