P1 or Year 8, every family can explore your school before they ever set foot in it.
When schools lost their open days during lockdown, they had no way to show prospective families what made them different. It forced a lot of hands. Remote working and video calls had already changed how people made decisions, and schools quickly found that a virtual tour could do something a Thursday evening open day never could: reach every family, on their schedule, from anywhere.
What started as a necessity has become something schools actively compete on.
The ones with a tour are showing parents their science labs, sports facilities, pastoral spaces and history. The ones without are hoping a PDF prospectus does the job.
After 12 years working with schools, I kept hearing a second story too: web companies locking them into expensive annual contracts, charging for features that never arrived, and holding their websites hostage. So 360 School works on one simple principle: one payment, full ownership, no recurring fees. You get exactly what was promised, then it is yours to keep.

Coming SoonLimavady High School is an Education Centre, not just a school. UK Secondary School of the Year, recognised by the CCEA, and holder of multiple national awards. They needed a virtual tour that matched their reputation. We came recommended by Antrim Grammar School, so it needed to be exceptional.

[Quote from Limavady High School to be added]
Our school has benefitted hugely from the addition of a virtual tour. The engagement figures speak volumes for the guidance and expertise of 360School. Our future pupils and parents are afforded an opportunity to look through the classrooms and see what our school uniquely offers. Very easy to work with and facilitated our ideas and thoughts to create a bespoke experience.
Thanks to 360School we are able to welcome visitors to our school site 24/7. We loved building the virtual tour and we are absolutely delighted with the outcome. We are so proud to let visitors explore everything that Antrim Grammar School has to offer. We couldn't have achieved this without the professionalism and expertise of 360School.
