Options will be out soon, and school have been getting them prepared. She's interested in the EBacc, but at the moment they haven't gone into this in detail at school, so I'd be interested to know what subjects she would need, what sorts of grades and what the benefit in the future would be.
Her initial choices and reasons are:
Textiles - she likes being creative, thinks this may help if see did interior design
Something RE/Philosophy/Ethics related, she's just been assessed at 7.25 in Ethics which I suspect is reasonably good, so I guess this has spurred her on with this choice
Music - she adores playing an instrument, practices for hours and would possibly like to teach
French - she is being fast tracked for GCSE higher French, she has to do a second language afterwards, so will hopefully have two language GCSEs.
She can choose two more options, with another as a reserve (sounds a lot to me!). She's thinks she should choose history or geography.
She can do triple science if she wants, but is considering double. She's always felt she's noticeably at the bottom of the top set and would rather put that time into another subject.
