A levels for computer science

I want to study computer science in uni. I know that further maths would be an advantage but i was also considering ; maths physics and computer science (further maths only AS). Should i do further maths all the way? Is computer science A level worth it?

Always check the entrance requirements. You dont need CS, just like you dont need law but I would rather have it as extra familiarity isnt going to do you any harm. The only reason I might keep FM open is if I wasnt sure on degree choice and wanted to preserve the right to apply to courses that would like FM, such as Maths.

Take Computer Science definitely as that's the course u wanna pursue so you should take it now and this knowledge will help later on where others might be stuck and you're ahead of the game

As for further maths, do u want to take it and will u put the effort. If so, go for it .
