Our school is forcing all pupils to drop one subject from their options, how many do most schools take? Can they do this? They are an recently converted academy.

My DS is doing 11 this year DD did 12, 2 years ago.

10 at dd's school if doing triple science, 9 if doing dual science.

8 would be too few for Oxbridge unless there were mitigating circumstances. My DDs took 10 and 12. 10 is plenty. They were all proper GCSEs, not equivalents. Make sure it is quality, not quantity.

Ours do 10, but no one needs more than 8 really.
