The pledge:

Launch a trial of ‘water only’ schools in up to ten primary schools in London

We want to support schools in promoting drinking water, so children get into the habit of making water their first choice for hydration. Water is the healthiest way to hydrate, yet many children prefer to choose other drinks.

We will be trailing ‘water only’ schools with up to ten primary schools in London from January 2018 and will provide the schools with resources to support the trial. There are a number of schools who have already introduced a ‘water only’ policy and are seeing some great results.
 
We are working with Public Health England London and Healthy Schools London to find other schools to take this positive step forwards to help children adopt healthy habits.
