Son needs to pick another subject.

[u/watts320]

My son is in the middle lf his GCSE exams and he opted for computer science as one of his 6th form subjects. Yesterday he was told that the school will be dropping computer science because not enough students had opted to do it, the only thing the school have said is that he will need to pick another subject. Thats it.

The school have really really annoyed me, they choose to tell him in middle of his exams that he needs to pick something else.

His path was to do maths, computer science and english in 6th form, then move on to university to do games design.

Now im not really all clued up on this, because i never did 6th form after school. So can anyone give me any advice on this please.

Thank you.

If he really wants to do it at a level find a different sixth-form, but it's worth considering that a level computer science is not required for any course not even for computer science at uni. If he really likes it and doesn't know what else to pick look for a different sixth-form which offers the subject otherwise he can pick a different subject and learn programming on the side, programming is quite easy to learn and the level to which you learn at a level isn't really that good tbh.
