Advice re questions to ask school after poor A Levels

[ConstantlyCooking]

DC did not do well in A Levels and we have a meeting with his school to discuss his options. Are there any questions we should be asking that we have missed.
So far we want to know:
Should he re-sit and how will this affect offers for next year,
Should he apply with grades and gain great work experience for his course
If he re-sits should he do an extra A/S

Sorry posted too soon, was just trying to make post gender neutral! Never mind. Just want to make the most of this meeting. DS wants to study an academic subject at uni and so needs to get into to one with a good-ish reputation as it will be having a degree that will help him find work rather than having a degree in a specific subject.
Many thanks

Universities vary in their views about prospective undergraduates who've resat their A levels.

What course vaguely does he want to study? What A level grades incl subjects did he get? What A level grades might he reasonably be able to achieve on resitting?

Might a foundation degree serve him better?

Any chance of a place this year somewhere? I understood that there were still plenty of empty spaces......

OP, the resit question probably depends on where he wants to apply and how far off his expected grades he was. Universities with a very strong academic reputation and a lot of applicants are unlikely to accept resits. If he's just missed the grades they ask for and the department really like his application otherwise (good personal statement and reference) then they may possibly take him. But again, that will depend on the university and the subject - a course/university with less competition for places might say yes where a very competitive/university subject might say no.
