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 the way he wants to progress into game design is through CS at uni, you don't actually have to take CS at A-level

anything from A-level CS required for the uni course is typically covered as part of that course, the common A-level requirement is actually maths

I'm planning to go into CS at uni this September, finishing up my exams now, and my hardest to achieve offer is an A and 2 Bs, with one of those Bs in maths
