want to become a physics teacher

im 15 and doing my gcses incoming may
we have to start thinking about what we want to do a level
here my plan
initially i want to become a teacher and teach at secondary level
a levels
physics
geography
socialogy
told by many that no uni take anyone who wants to do a physics degree with out a maths a level
plan to do BSC physics with a foundation year
then teacher training
get a placemetn after
many people say why not take maths a level
i like maths a lot but i only like applicational maths
i dont want to do pure maths for a level
i really love physics and i enjoy the maths in it i know it gets harder but im ready for it love the theories etc
really motivated is my plans possible

Pure maths is needed in being able to apply maths. Not doing maths also limits your destinations to places that actually offer foundation degrees with physics.
It's an extra £9250 if you take a foundation year compared to just taking maths A-level.

You don't really need maths to understand physics at A levels but I'm sure that many universities will require A level maths. More ever, the mechanics units in maths are basically a free pass after doing physics.

uni offer things called a foundation year when you are allowed to d the course which is physics but you do like 6 months where you learn the maths qualification for the degree then you are allowed to carry on with the ohysics ourse at uni
