Following a tour of the buildingl conducted by the rector, Francis visited a range of classes including religious education, modern studies, English and music.
He felt particularly at home in music when the Braidhurst pupils gave him a performance of African drums.
Francis explained that, in his own school in Uganda, they had 520 pupils, eight rooms and eight teaching staff.
He stressed to the pupils how fortunate they were to have such fantastic resources.
