DS is currently choosing his GCSE options. We received the curriculum booklet today and the EBacc is mentioned.
I’ve heard of it before, but don’t know any details. DS had an assembly today and they were told it is important for entry into Oxbridge or the RG universities.
All I know about it, is they have to do a humanity, language and science to get it. DS is still undecided about doing a language.
Can anyone give me any more information about the EBacc or how essential it is for university entrance. As DS said, surely the universities would look more favourably at 9 high GCSE grades rather than several high grades and a few lower grades just because he had to do the EBacc?
