Year 7 assembled on the playground with teachers from the Science department and an astronomer, Richie Jarvis, who visited the school to talk to them about the solar eclipse before it happened.
There was a sense of cold and slight darkness but unfortunately the heavy covering of cloud prevented the solar eclipse from being viewed through the special spectacles provided by the Science department.
Mr Jarvis can be seen in the photo holding his mobile phone with a special solar app which showed the exact moment when it would have occurred had the cloud not been present.
