My son is going into year 13. He took physics, maths, further maths and art at AS with a view to giving up art at the end of year 12. The new headmaster at his school has said he MUST do 4 A levels as he considers maths and further maths as one subject!! My son has checked with all the admissions depts of the universities he is considering applying to (including Imperial) - he has been advised by all of them that 3 A levels are all that they require and further maths definitely will count as one separate subject. We have had meetings with school and the head is definitely not going to change his mind. Does anyone know if this is allowed or is there any way we can stop this now. There is so much coursework involved in art - had my son known that he would have to take a 4th subject at A2 he would have chosen a different subject. There are only 3 taking further maths at A2.
