We're very proud that our twin boys both did extremely well in their GCSE exams, so now we're in
the process of college enrolment. The college they want to go to (walking distance, friends going three, nice 'feel') is no longer offering further maths, which both boys wanted to do, citing universities no longer valued a fourth A level. Is this true?
They're also no longer offering the computer science A level one of the boys wanted to do and I'm now a bit suspicious about them withdrawing both courses, and am worried the college is going into a decline. (I've also heard on the grapevine they lost their head of maths, which might explain the withdrawal of further maths.)
Any inside knowledge, particularly regarding the value of further maths as a fourth A level, gratefully received! TIA.
