Dr Tedd has continued setting Astronomical Challenges during the Covid-19 school closure period. This week he has challenged girls to take their very own Star Trail photograph.

Mr Devey, our intrepid Geography teacher, who is a dab hand at photography took this beautiful picture last Friday. You can see the star trails around the pole star Polaris, a meteor trail and the different colours of the stars reflecting their surface temperatures.
