Our education programme

As well as treating and supplying our customers with water, we feel it's really important to educate adults and children alike about the value of this most precious resource.

Our education programme

Flow Zone located at Bough Beech Reservoir near Edenbridge in Kent, welcomes all schools (Key Stage 2 and above) for the unique opportunity to visit our interactive Education Centre and a behind-the-scenes look at our Water Treatment Works, to find out how water is made safe to drink.

The visit is free of charge. You'll get a chance to explore and learn all about the water treatment process and water usage through interactive activities and games in the 'Blue Zone'.

If travelling to Bough Beech is a challenge, we can bring the Flow Zone experience to your school with a tailored classroom session and tabletop demonstration. But we’d always recommend coming to our site for the best experience. That’s why we’d suggest booking with a coach company, like Cruisers Ltd who are kindly offering competitive pricing for local schools. For more details, call 01737 770036 or email enq@cruisersltd.co.uk and reference booking your school trip to Flow Zone, SES Water.

You can play interactive games and learn even more about Flow Zone here.
