Location QR codes for schools

Location QR codes for schools

A location QR code drops a precise map pin to your school, so a family heading to an open day scans the flyer and their phone opens directions to the right gate and visitor parking. It saves first-time visitors from circling a campus they've never seen. Enter the coordinates below to make one free.

Open days bring families who've never visited, often arriving by car in an unfamiliar area, looking for a visitor entrance that isn't the everyday school gate. A postcode lands them somewhere near; a geo QR code lands them exactly. Encode the latitude and longitude of the visitor entrance and the scan opens a pin there, with turn-by-turn directions and parking nearby. Put it on the open-day flyer, the prospectus and the website so the journey is sorted before anyone sets off.

Where a school location code helps

  • On the open-day flyer — families plan the route the night before.
  • On the prospectus — prospective parents save the pin when they apply.
  • A second pin for visitor parking — if it's separate from the entrance.
  • On event invites — concerts, fairs and sports days that draw outside visitors.

Make and place your school pin

From coordinates to an open-day flyer:

  1. 1

    Find the exact coordinates

    Drop a pin on the visitor entrance in Google Maps and copy the latitude and longitude.

  2. 2

    Enter them above

    The generator encodes a geo code that opens in the visitor's map app.

  3. 3

    Download as SVG or PDF

    Vector prints sharp on a flyer and a large directional sign.

  4. 4

    Pin the visitor gate

    Use the entrance families should arrive at, not the staff gate.

Pin the visitor entrance specifically

Campuses often have several gates; place the coordinates on the one open-day visitors should use, and add a separate parking pin if needed.
