Dd is due to take her options later this year. We don't yet know which subjects will be in each column but she has to put in a preference then the groups will be put together.
Her science teacher says she is doing very well, however I have been concerned that she wasn't being stretched last year though things are improving this year.
Currently only double science is offered but the teacher says they are discussing with senior management whether they can start offering triple. However it would mean she would have to drop a subject (probably a humanities)
Currently she plans to take
Maths, English Lang, English Lit, Double Science, Dance (compulsory)
French, Music, IT (or a humanities) (options)
To me dropping one of the options in favour of triple science seems limiting but maybe it's because when I was at school you had to take a humanities subject)
I don't know exactly what A levels she plans to take but it's likely to include Drama or Music, a science, maybe maths or Computing.
