Hi
My DC is considering his A-level options since they will influence his choice of 6th form.
He has a clear preference for English Language and Literature over English Literature - no Shakespeare and creative writing are both appealing.
My question is: do you think ELL instead of EL will hinder his chances to get to a top Uni and course? I am looking at this in the context of the (now apparently scrapped) list of “facilitating subjects”.
Info:
He is predicted 8/9s for GCSE.
His degree preferences right now are Law or PPE, maybe Economics.
His other A level choices are Maths, Spanish and History (Spanish is our home language and he passed a C1 exam last year so I estimate it will only take him 1/3 or 1/2 of the effort of a normal A level).
Thanks a lot for your views. I have not studied in this country and the system and options look frighteningly complex.
