I know there have been a couple of threads that have asked specific questions, but I wondered if it was worth having a general thread? Please point me in the right direction if one already exists.
It would be useful to have opinions and advice on GCSE options of all varieties, so I'll kick off.
DS - generally very able. Has a strong interest in science, particularly physics. Already has to take Maths (possible opportunity to take second GCSE in maths), English Lit and lang, Triple Science (decided in Y8), Philosophy and Religion, ICT(?).
Would also like to take:-
French/Spanish - currently does both but will choose one after guidance from his teachers. Languages are his least strong subjects.
Geography
Computing
Product Design - this is the one he is least sure about but thinks that it will give him a more practical opportunity to explore some of his scientific interests.
He will also take music as a fast track (done in Y10) after school option - he is happy to do this as his school often has after school activities for more able students in lower school, so is unlikely to require more hours than he already does. Pupils are only allowed to do this if they already have grade 5 theory and practical, which he does.
Is this a wide enough range of subjects? Does it look like a good set?
