The education team plans on engaging youngsters through their "free, fun, and informative" sessions.

The team is asking teachers to contact them and book a place for the free interactive workshop.

The theme for primary schools in the county is ‘The Wonderful World of Water’, where children will learn about water efficiency and receive tips for saving water at home.

In secondary schools, the ‘Science of Sewage’ sessions will cover what should and should not be in sewers and how waste water is recycled.

The sessions aim to highlight the importance of caring for our water and ways to help at home, as well as water issues including climate change.

Last academic year, more than 61,000 schoolchildren across the water company's region were educated, with 3,811 children across the county.

Maxine Smith, senior education officer at the company, said: "Our free workshops and assemblies are always a huge amount of fun, as well as being very informative and a fantastic way for children to get involved and learn more.

"The sessions really help youngsters to think about the work that Severn Trent does, how important it is to look after our water along with how their waste is treated and how their actions can go a long way in impacting the environment.

"We would urge interested schools or parents who would like to get a school involved to get in touch to find out more about the free sessions."

A spokesperson for Nunnery Wood Primary School in Worcester said: "Severn Trent Water recently visited our school to deliver an engaging and interactive assembly titled ‘Wonderful World of Water'.

"It was fantastic to see some of our students actively participate in the assembly by holding props and reading statements aloud which engaged their peers.

"There were many interactive elements such as songs and games which inspired our children."
