After school on Thursday, 06 March 2025, Year 8 students eagerly participated in an options fayre, a unique opportunity designed to help them explore their academic paths to assist them in making their final decision on which options subjects to select for Key Stage 4. This event allowed them to engage with older students from Years 9, 10, and 11 who are already immersed in the diverse range of subjects available. These interactions provided invaluable insights into the courses from the perspectives of those currently studying them.

The fayre featured stalls showcasing exemplary work for each subject, course breakdowns, and information on assessment methods. This setup allowed Year 8 students to gain a comprehensive understanding of what each subject entails. The students' enthusiasm was evident as they navigated through the hall, asking insightful questions and absorbing the information presented.

The atmosphere was lively and encouraging, highlighting the students' keen interest in shaping their educational journeys. The superb turnout and the vibrant buzz in the hall underscored the importance of such events in guiding students towards informed decisions about their future studies.
