Students tracked Loughton Brook from deep inside Epping Forest right the way through Loughton, completing surveys on the sustainability of different flood defence strategies to reduce the likelihood of flooding. Students also conducted questionnaires where they maturely and politely asked members of the public for their perceptions of Loughton’s flood defences. The fieldwork was conducted to a high standard and students are well placed for complete their analysis stage for their controlled assessment.![](https://riverside-secondary.com/images/380.jpg)![](https://riverside-secondary.com/images/380b.jpg) [ BBC News School Report Day 2015](https://riverside-secondary.com/news/2015-03-09-bbc-news-school-report-day-2015) [LYG Dance Competition ](https://riverside-secondary.com/news/2015-03-16-lyg-dance-competition) ![Riverside Secondary School](https://files.schudio.com/riverside-secondary-school/images/logo/Logo_Footer.png) ### Riverside Secondary School Renwick Road Barking IG11 0FU 0203 946 5888 ### Social Media - [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/riverside_campus/) [![Partnership Learning](https://files.schudio.com/riverside-secondary-school/images/logo/AAAPartnership-Learning_white.png)](https://partnershiplearning.com) © Copyright 2026 Riverside Secondary School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://riverside-secondary.com/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
