Students were able to immerse themselves in discussions around language, legacies, and artefacts left behind from this time period. Students were also able to explore the Exhibition: “London, Sugar & Slavery: 1600-Present” and made notes on their impressions of the artefacts, then shared these with each other afterward.![](https://riverside-secondary.com/images/IMG_3874-450x600.jpeg)![](https://riverside-secondary.com/images/IMG_3887-scaled.jpeg) [ Anti-Bullying Week 2024](https://riverside-secondary.com/news/2024-11-19-anti-bullying-week-2024-1) [Riverside Christmas Jumper Day ](https://riverside-secondary.com/news/2024-12-05-riverside-christmas-jumper-day) ![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/)
