Aerial Photography for Schools

Aerial photographs of schools and pupils are becoming increasingly popular. A few years ago, hiring a helicopter made this very expensive, but drone technology has changed that.

Aerial photos make great keepsakes for pupils and staff, ideal for group shots and promotional materials. They are perfect for showcasing impressive school grounds and sports facilities. For special events like a school's 50th anniversary or a long-serving teacher's retirement, an aerial photo is a memorable gift.

When booking a school aerial photo, the first priority should be the safety and security of pupils and staff. Modern drones are reliable and safe, but only if operated responsibly by a skilled pilot. It's highly recommended to check that the pilot has permission to operate from the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA). In the UK, this permission is called the 'PfCO' from the CAA.

Children are naturally excited about drone technology. When booking a school aerial photo, consider asking the pilot to give a talk or presentation. Our drone operators are happy to do this, and it can spark interest in careers in the growing drone industry.
