The year 7 girls ran 2500m, the year 7 boys and year 8 girls ran 3000m and the year 8 boys ran 3500m. Riverside were the only school in the borough which entered this competition and they didn’t let Barking and Dagenham down. Throughout the day over 800 runners participated in the various races and against some very tough competition our pupils competed well. Our top year 7 boy was Tyresse Bale, top year 7 girl was Toyin, top year 8 boy was Francis Mampolo and the top year 8 girl was Rejoice. All of the students should be extremely happy with their results. We now look forward to Borough Athletics in the summer. ![](https://riverside-secondary.com/images/306a.jpg)![](https://riverside-secondary.com/images/305b(1).jpg)![](https://riverside-secondary.com/images/306c.jpg)![](https://riverside-secondary.com/images/306d.jpg) [ University of Oxford](https://riverside-secondary.com/news/2016-01-18-university-of-oxford) [BBC London Radio Show ](https://riverside-secondary.com/news/2016-03-03-bbc-london-radio-show) ![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/)
