I know it depends on what you're interested in but I was wondering if these choices would be beneficial. Would the work together well or am I just limiting myself. Also, will they get me into a good uni?

You have two good subjects there, Biology and Geography and the other two are ok. You'd get into a good uni but might be limiting yourself in the choice of courses, if you picked chemistry rather than PE or Psychology you'd have loads of options.

If you want to pursue a degree in science then it is preferable to study at least 2 science subjects, some universities will accept Psychology and/or Geography as a science subject but the majority of more prestigious universities will not.
Most universities prefer you to have at most one "soft" subject; Psychology and PE fall into that category, maybe swap one for a more academically challenging subject unless you're certain you want to study them.
It's hard to offer advice without having any inkling of what subject area you want to pursue at university

I'm not entirely sure what it want to do when I'm older. I'm thinking something to do with sport, sports psychology, sports science etc. or something to do with marine animals. Or something to do with geography, climatologist or something like that.
i would like to go to a good uni. I had a look round Loughborough the other day with a friend and it's excellent, especially if I want to go down the sport route

You won't get into a good uni just from the subjects you're doing. You have to also get the grades, your subjects seem fine but it's dependent on what career field you're looking to go into.
Loughborough is a great university especially for Engineering/Sports/Business related subjects. I currently hold an offer to study there which I insured

Definitely try as best you can to get good grades in the upcoming academic year to further your chances of obtaining an offer at a top-ranking university. Good luck!

These subjects are not even worth taking, you might as well sign up as a bin man already.

Really, why what's wrong with the Sport is my thing which I would like to pursue further, I'm interested in psychology as I've never done it before, biology I think would work well with PE and geography I really enjoy.

Don't do PE (its worthless, not even being harsh or critical, it has no value unless you want to be a sports teacher at a school and even then thats more based on experience rather than a PE a level)
take maths, chemistry or physics, (a hundred fold tougher than 'A level PE' but open up a lot more doors for you, and they are only hard if you don't work, if you work = they are easy)

What about if I changed PE for ICT. Would that be better because I hate chemistry and I'm not great at maths.
