I'm only in year 11 but I'm considering doing a classics degree at university, potentially at Oxford.

My A level choices are currently Latin, Maths, philosophy and geography/politics.

I have the option of doing early modern history and English literature at A level but I am not as good at either subject as I am at my chosen subjects.

Are my options sufficient for this particular degree and which is a better option out of geography and politics? Bearing in mind I'm very passionate about Latin, which shows in my extra curricular activities.

Politics is a better option. It think you should be fine - if you want to get into a top university, it may be more helpful to do History/Classical Civilisations, but you should be alright, especially if you want to focus on Latin at Uni.
Good Luck!

The only option for history at my school is early modern history which I felt bears little relevance to classics content-wise.

I think they are good choices, and Politics is more relevant than Geography.
