DD is coming to the end of Y10. She is working hard and doing well, predicted 7-9 in everything... except French. She has a real block about it and despite trying her best is predicted 3/4.
We are considering asking school to let her drop French as I worry that getting her up to the level where she can do the higher level paper will adversely impact her other studies. If she does foundation level she can get 5 max.
However she wants to apply for Oxbridge and I don't know what their view would be. I don't think they require Ebacc but what would their view be of not having an MFL? Also she would have 9 GCSEs instead of 10. Would that bother them? Would they know that everybody else from the school had 10? TIA!
