Careers fair

What year would you go to the school careers fair?

DS has just started year 8, there's a career fair in a couple of weeks and I'm wondering whether we should be going?

I'm not sure when GCSE choices are made so would leaving it until he's in year 9 be too late?

Thanks

At our school it would be fine as GCSE choices aren't made until mid y9.

But some schools run a 3 year GCSE so select options in y8 (too early imo)

Maybe ring school next week to check when options are selected?

At my DD's school, all DC were invited but, I think, Years 11, 12 and 13 were invited at a different, later time (but on the same day). Parents weren't invited at all, unless they were manning one of the stalls!
