This trip was partially funded by the generous support of the Great British School Trip. Students were given a booklet of questions to complete as they walked through the exhibition, focusing on the historical developments in France related to nature, medicine, engineering, and more. It was great to see them working diligently to record as much information as possible, even if finding some of the answers proved challenging. They were all very engaged and exceptionally well-behaved throughout the entire visit. ![](https://riverside-secondary.com/images/IMG_2167-600x450.jpg)![](https://riverside-secondary.com/images/IMG_2190-450x600.jpg) [ Year 7 Reward trip to the London Eye](https://riverside-secondary.com/news/2025-07-09-year-7-reward-trip-to-the-london-eye) [Meet the Form Tutor Evening for Year 7 Parents, Wednesday 4th November 4-6pm ](https://riverside-secondary.com/news/2026-11-02-meet-the-form-tutor-evening-for-year-7-parents-wednesday-4th-november-4-6pm) ![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/)
