Do what you are good at. Talk to members of staff who teach you about your ability to cope with a particular subject. It may be possible to take up certain subjects again at A Level without having done them at GCSE, such as Art, Religious Studies, Geography and History, for example. Check with the subject staff concerned. NB: Students are no longer required to take a language at GCSE. All students will have compulsory PSHE lessons once a fortnight. All students have compulsory PE lessons.
