Unfortunately many school toilet blocks are low on the list of a school's budget and priorities for improvement, but having clean, safe, well ventilated toilet blocks are so important and necessary for good health and well being, not only for the pupils but also for the staff. The state of school toilets often causes anxiety and apprehension amongst pupils and research shows that horrible shabby toilets and restricted access mean pupils drink less during the day in order to avoid going to the toilet. This can result in dehydration which can cause constipation, headaches, fatigue and lack of concentration.
School and nursery toilets require careful thought and planning. Toilet fittings typically need to be slightly lower and smaller for the younger children and most importantly by selecting dual flush water saving sanitaryware schools could see huge water savings per annum. Water saving toilets reduce the amount of water used for each flush. In a school where toilets may be flushed hundreds of times per day, this works out to be a very large savings in water usage especially as schools spend in the region of £70 million annually on the provision of fresh water and the treatment of waste water with a typical primary school spending approximately £2,000 a year on their water bill the perfect way to conserve water, save money and care for the environment.
