Sorry, daft question, but since I date from the time when you took O level or CSE in individual sciences, I'm a little confused.
Looking at secondary school options, if I understand correctly, in the school we're looking at you can either take
three GCSEs in Biology, Chemistry & Physics,
or two GCSEs in Core + Additional science,
or alternatively BTEC applied science
Is this the norm? I get the impression that a large proportion of pupils are expected to take the first route & study all three.
I don't think this is necessarily a problem - they seem to be quite a science / IT focused school in general, but wondered what happened to kids who were more humanities focused. I know they now only offer French as a MFL having recently dropped Spanish.
