Our team of DYW Ambassadors have been hard at work thinking of ways they could support those in our school community who are ready to make options choices over these next few weeks.

Here is a video the team have produced to introduce themselves:

We have created a video to demonstrate some tools you may find useful at the time of Options Choices, both for pupils and for parents/carers.
