Schools hope drone footage attracts pupils

Urban private schools are gathering drone footage to attract new students through virtual viewings.

Francis Holland School, in Belgravia, and North London Collegiate School, in Edgware, are using the devices to overcome social distancing and give parents and prospective pupils a 360-degree view of their grounds in the capital.

Clips include children of key workers running around the playground and a detailed look at chemistry labs, music practice rooms and lacrosse pitches.
