Our school is well known from the outside for our distinctive pencil railings. Looking through those railings, visitors can see our beautiful playground full of an astonishing variety of plants and trees as well as lots of fantastic playground equipment. The building itself is Victorian, but viewing it just from the outside gives no hint as to the large, airy vibrant environment that lies within. It’s an unusual school environment, and one which often draws visitors and prospective parents in. In the grip of lockdown, we knew that our inability to open the school up would have an impact not just on prospective parents, but also on their children – we place a very high priority on giving new starters lots of opportunities to come in and feel at home. When we were offered to have an extremely whizzy high-tech 3D online tour made, we jumped at the chance!
A team came in and worked with us to take high resolution 3 dimensional images and record videos with our Head and Reception teachers. We placed these on the front page of our website and were very pleased to be able to show our environment off to everyone. Subsequently our school tour was one of those with the highest levels of views across the project.
