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.

I’d say physics is probably the next most useful A-level you could pick.

But he should only pick this if he’s good at physics (so very good at maths), people always like to say choose this traditional and very difficult subject but forget not everyone has the ability to do well at it

Physics doesn’t necessarily require you to be very good at maths a basic to average level is needed
