I wasn’t sure even after I’d done the exams!

Computer Science ?
I'm pretty sure that when I went back to College to learn Computer Programming in the very early 80's there were less than a dozen computers in Sussex

Not sure it can be self taught to everyone. People can become good at it, but when people are great it really shows

All studied (with seperate exams), just under one banner.

Computing, computing, computing, computing, computing - the future is now with the geeks. My daughter is doing a degree in engineering and is surprised at how much coding she has had to do and wished she could have gone back and done computer science. Shame there’s no Chinese language (Mandarin). apart from that do what they like the best so they are more likely to get higher grades as once they’ve done there A levels all everyone is interested in his how many GCSE they have and at what grade
Serious lack of maths and sciences in those options - we can't all do warm fluffy options.
They're compulsory
Oh, right...........and good. Though in that case it's appalling that English isn't too.
Would you call this an historic vote?

Anything that doesn’t involve an exam at the end of the course….the thought of revising and having to sit in hall for a couple of hours twiddling my thumbs with a blank sheet of paper in front of me, doesnt fill me with any desire to revisit GCSE’S

I'd say English is key given the number of NSC users who can't read opening posts.
I don't remember the Ceasar incident - but in relation to field trips I'm pretty sure I witnessed you nicking the boats in Keswick for an early morning row on Derwentwater....

I would really love to do the new natural history GCSE.
English, Maths, and Science are compulsory.

And a language. And history or geography.
It's almost as if he dived in without reading the opening post, isn't it?
In your son's school, yes, but I didn't include those as they're not compulsory in all schools.
It is, although your OP is a bit of a dogs dinner
I would say that English is essential.
Oh no, it's not that - it's because some NSCers can't read, apparently. Odd that English is included in the list of optional subjects though.
