What happens to good all rounders?

Our eldest is in Y7 and we've just had her first parents evening.
She's doing well in everything and really has no weak subjects. She also enjoys most of her subjects most of the time.
DD plays instruments so would also like to continue with music but isn't very sporty, although she enjoys swimming and hockey.
Next year she's going to pick up an extra language ( trying to decide between Spanish and Latin, she'll continue with French) and will keep working hard, but I wondered which direction your children went in when it came to GCSE, A levels and uni, if they were all rounders at this age?
I'm a bit worried that she's going to find it hard to concentrate on being really good at a few subjects rather than quite good at them all, IYSWIM.

ivy, 11 is not normal at many private schools as they like the children to have free time for music and sport and other hobbies. I did 9 O levels. My sons are doing 10 (possibly 9) GCSEs. Some schools add in a whole load of rubbish low value pointless GCSEs in things like travel and tourism, childcare, cooking when those children might be better served with 8 core academic GCSEs. I have heard of some comps pushing some children to do 16 GCSEs with some done a year early. I don't like that trend.

Which just screams out loud gsce are dumbed down to what o levels used to be, regardless of the good it does none academic children getting to shine in other areas

What happens to good all rounders? THey get a great spread of good GCSE results and then... dammit .... have to decide, at the point they don't know what the heck they want to do whether to take an arts based or science based A level set.

It's very difficult!

DD2 is year 10 and in this " fortunate" predicament. I even thought about moving her to an Ibacc school but the one thing she doesn't enjoy ( though is still good at) is languages so she really doesn't want to take that beyond GCSE.

Maybe 2 arts 2 sciences and maths at AS would be a good route if school would support it,to allow the final decider to be taken after AS exams, I don't know.
