I’m 15 and I’ve had mental health issues for a couple of years now. I also struggle a lot with fatigue and don’t have the energy or ability to cope with large amounts of work.
I’m worried that I won’t cope with three A-Levels, but doing them has been my dream for so long, and I don’t want to give up on that. Would it be possible for me to split it up so that in total I finish four A-Levels over four years?
My current school has so far done what they can to support me and I’d like to stay on for sixth form. I think what I want to do is take maths and further maths only at sixth form, then go to college after year 13 to take politics and psychology A-Levels for another two years (I’m aware that this won’t be free but my parents would support me).
Can I do this? Would it put me at a disadvantage at all if I did it this way instead of the standard way? I want to do them well and to the best of my ability, and I think I’d fail if I did three in two years.
