Improve your reach, reduce in person visits and support your pupils, parents and staff
with a 360° virtual tour
How can a 360 tour help your education setting?
Increase Bookings & Enquiries
​
If your education setting needs more bookings, a virtual tour can help. It improves your reach and can be used within your marketing to capture interest.​
Save time and reduce unnecessary in person visits
​
A virtual tour allows potential students and their families to see if your setting is the right fit for them before arranging an in-person visit. This means in-person bookings are with people who are already committed.
Allow students to familiarise themselves before their first day
​
Our virtual tours provide an interactive way for students and parents to familiarise themselves with the environment before their first day. By offering a glimpse into classrooms, common areas, and even the carpark, it eases anxiety, particularly for neurodivergent children who may benefit from visual preparation.

As a busy mum of two, I understand the challenges that come with finding the right school and nursery for our children. The time-consuming process of visiting multiple schools can be overwhelming, especially when balancing family life. That's why I am passionate about bringing 360 virtual tours to schools.
These immersive experiences not only save time for parents but also help prequalify potential customers by giving them a glimpse into the school's environment from the comfort of their own home. Beyond the convenience for parents, my biggest motivation for implementing virtual tours in schools is the positive impact they can have on children.
Starting at a new school or moving classrooms can be anxiety-inducing for many kids. Virtual tours provide a sense of familiarity, allowing children to explore their new surroundings before they even step foot inside. This proactive approach can significantly reduce anxiety, especially for those who may require additional support. I believe that by offering virtual tours, we can create a smoother transition for children, making their experience more and less stressful.
