Dropping a GCSE Subject

I am wanting to drop GCSE Music. I hate the subject, I hate the content and I hate my teacher.
I have spoken to the KS4 Progress Manager who says she is sorting it.

If it is approved, I was wondering whether I would be able to do an IGCSE when I am meant to have music; and whether the government would cover the cost of the course?

Thanks in advance!

I doubt it. An extra body in a Music class only costs the exam entry fee (about £30) whereas paying for a distance learning course (or even the just the IGCSE entry) is more expensive. The school would gain nothing from it as IGCSEs don't count for league tables.
