Hoping for some advice on choices for 6th form. DS is in year 11 and has likely undiagnosed SEN. He has CATS scores in top 1% but failing to meet nearly all his targets at GCSE. He is on target to pass everything but mainly with 5s including both English (GCSE targets were all at least 7 due to high SATS).
Looking at options for 6th form. He loves physics and is on target for a 9. However maths likely only to be a 7 at best so thinking that wont work as he doesnt find the maths easy but not sure how much is the teacher and missing so much teaching and how much is him. He would prefer not to do maths but I think has to if he does physics.
He would prefer to do computing A level and computing BTech (plus the physics) and the college offer both computing. Are they complimentary or is it duplication? If just one then any opinion on which?
Our other thought is he does a level 3 BTech in computing and forgets A levels totally but a shame as he loves physics. However he would then easily meet the entry requirements and it would be less stressful. Any thoughts?
Thank you
