This was after students in 9R1, 9R2 and 9R3 sent letters to request his visit, as they had learnt about him through the Small Axe films in history. He shared with us some of the wisdom he has gained from his experiences, of his resilience despite racist abuse and struggles. He answered many of the students questions and shared many inspiring messages with us all!![](https://riverside-secondary.com/images/45b.jpg)![](https://riverside-secondary.com/images/45c.jpg) [ Y10 History Trip – Tower of London](https://riverside-secondary.com/news/2023-11-14-y10-history-trip-tower-of-london) [Local Future Chef Competition ](https://riverside-secondary.com/news/2023-11-30-local-future-chef-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/)
