Are my GCSEs good enough for Cambridge Maths?

Hello

I got a 9 in Maths, and an A in physics at GCSE, but only just passed English. Will this have a negative effect on my chances?
I'm optimistic about getting A*s in Maths (and Further) and Physics at A-level so that's not an issue, but I feel my laziness and hatred of revision in the past may come back to haunt me.
Thanks.

Cambridge is only really interested in your Maths.

You're fine so far, but being lazy won't help you with STEP, and a Cambridge Tripos...
