The event was aimed to promote mathematics beyond GCSE and to support students in making an informed choice about Level 3 Maths. Talks included discussing Ada Lovelace, the first computer programmer, and the contributions she made to the mathematics we use today. Students also got involved in debating ‘Fake News’ where they analysed headlines and learnt how maths skills can be used to stop us from blindly believing everything we read in the paper, see on TV or follow on social media. ![](https://riverside-secondary.com/images/155a.png) [ Riverside students attended the Mayoral Accountability Assembly on Thursday 29th November 2018](https://riverside-secondary.com/news/2018-11-30-riverside-students-attended-the-mayoral-accountability-assembly-on-thursday-29th-november) [Dance Workshops at Chobham for Riverside Dance Academy ](https://riverside-secondary.com/news/2019-01-08-dance-workshops-at-chobham-for-riverside-dance-academy) ![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/)
