UK 360° Virtual Tours for Schools
360° Virtual Tours for Schools
Give parents a virtual open day, every day. A 360° virtual tour lets families walk your corridors, classrooms and halls from home, long before they book a visit, and keeps working long after the real open day is over.
Trusted Photography has been trading since 2012. We publish virtual tours to Google Maps and Google Street View, we are rated 4.6 on Trustpilot, and we cover schools across the whole UK from our Long Eaton, Derbyshire base. Tours start from £300.
What do virtual tours for schools actually involve?
A 360° virtual tour is a complete walkthrough of your school, captured on site by a professional photographer and stitched into an interactive tour that families can explore on any device. We publish the finished tour to Google Maps and Google Street View, so it can appear when parents search for your school, and we supply an embed so it sits on your own website too. The result is a virtual open day that is available every day of the year.
Trusted Photography has been trading since 2012 and publishes 360° tours to Google Maps and Google Street View. We are based in Long Eaton, Derbyshire, near Nottingham, and cover schools across the whole UK. Every tour is quoted individually, shoots are scheduled around the school day, and you choose exactly which areas are captured before anything is published.
Why schools use 360° virtual tours
An open day happens once or twice a year. Your virtual tour works all year round, for every family deciding where to apply.
Admissions and open days
Parents can explore your school online long before they book a visit, so families arrive at open day already engaged.
Less disruption
Families can look round online instead of asking for one-off visits during lesson time, so the school day carries on uninterrupted.
SEN and anxious pupils
New starters can walk the corridors, classrooms and dining hall as often as they need before day one, so the building feels familiar when they arrive.
Staff recruitment
Prospective teachers and support staff can see your classrooms and facilities before they apply, which helps your vacancies stand out.
Relocating and international families
Families moving into the area, or applying from overseas, can view the school properly from anywhere in the world at any time.
Grounds from the air
Our CAA-registered drone operators capture playing fields, grounds and the scale of your campus in a way ground-level photos cannot.
What a school 360° tour includes
Every school tour is built around what you want families to see. A typical project includes:
- A full 360° walkthrough of the areas you choose, from reception and classrooms to halls, libraries and sports facilities
- Publication to Google Maps and Google Street View, so the tour can appear where parents search for your school
- An embed for your own website, so the tour sits alongside your admissions pages
- Optional aerial photo and video of your grounds and playing fields, captured by CAA-registered drone operators
- Optional commercial photography from the same visit, giving you fresh imagery for your prospectus and website
You review what has been captured before anything goes live, so nothing appears on the tour that you would rather keep off it.
Independent and state schools
Tours suit both. Independent schools can use a tour to reach fee-paying families comparing schools from a distance, including families relocating or applying from overseas. State schools and academies can give parents a proper look round before application deadlines, without adding extra visits to the timetable.
Academy trusts and school groups can be quoted across multiple sites in one go. And because shoots can be scheduled for evenings, weekends or school holidays, the building can be captured empty, so pupils do not need to appear in the tour at all.
School virtual tour pricing
School tours start from £300 and every project is quoted individually, based on the size of your site and how many buildings you want covered. A single-building primary school is a different job from a multi-site academy trust, so we quote each school properly rather than working from a one-size price list.
Quotes are free and there is no obligation. Call 0115 718 0409 with a rough idea of what you want covered, or send us a note through the contact form and we will come back to you.

FAQs
Frequently asked questions
School tours start from £300 and every project is quoted individually. The price depends on the size of your site and how many buildings you want covered, so a small primary school and a multi-building secondary are quoted differently.

No. School tours are best captured with empty rooms, and shoots can be scheduled for evenings, weekends or school holidays so the building is clear. You also review what has been captured before anything is published, so you stay in control of exactly what appears.
You decide. The tour covers the spaces you choose to showcase, whether that is reception, classrooms, halls, the library or your sports facilities, and leaves out anything you would rather keep off the tour.
School holidays are ideal. The buildings are empty, there is no timetable disruption, and a summer shoot means your tour can be live in time for autumn open days and application deadlines. Weekend and after-hours shoots work well too.
Your tour is published to Google Maps and Google Street View, so parents can find it when they search for your school, and we supply an embed for your own website. It becomes a virtual open day that is available every day of the year.
Yes. Our CAA-registered drone operators can capture aerial photography and video of your grounds, pitches and the wider campus alongside the 360° tour, showing the scale of the site in a way ground-level photography cannot.
Yes. We cover independent and state schools, academies and trusts across the whole UK from our base in Long Eaton, Derbyshire, and we have been trading since 2012. Multi-site trusts can be quoted across several schools at once.
Pupils can explore the corridors, classrooms and dining hall as many times as they like before their first day, so the building already feels familiar when they arrive. For SEN pupils and anxious starters in particular, that familiarity can make the first morning far less daunting.
