How I would have loved that choice, IIRC when I was at school you were just told what GCEs you were doing
See my note added at end of first point. Kids only choose two from the list really.
As a Brighton fan/resident . . . . In London . . .Drama, Home economics and interpretive flouncing/mincing should be compulsory Shirely?A few on here should choose drama
at the age of 7 the only option most of us had was skateboard or bike, jeans or shorts . .if we were lucky! We didn't have a bloody clue what most of those subjects were, we were too busy playing conkers/marbles/football/off ground had/44 save all/climbing trees
Should do the ones he enjoys the most, simple.
Art, Computing, English, History, Latin
Bloody Hell.
So many subjects I did are missing.
For general interest these were my passes (I failed Ffrench.)
Maths
Additional maths
Physics,
Biology
Chemistry
Geography
History
Latin
English literature
English Language
Art

The only one missing is Additional Maths, which probably is offered to kids who are good at it.

It was never my intention to ask for advice!
Thought it would be fun seeing where NSC is at, that's all.
I was going to suggest the ones with the fittest teachers, it at least makes parents evening bearable

I don't feel so bad now, mine were English Lang, English Lit, Maths (Trad), Maths (Add), Physics, Chemistry, Biology, History, Latin and although I did Geography and French they didn't put me in for the exams. Wise decision
Year 7 at school isn’t age 7, no kids aged 7 are choosing these subjects.
I know the school years had different numbers when i and probably you went to school.

Ha. This particular son once had a primary school teacher who was basically a better-looking version of Heather Graham. Incredible!
I'd be inclined to suggest Comp science too, but so that he could help me with how to use my phone / laptop etc. But my son seems to know everything about that anyway, without having been taught anything. How do teenagers do that!
