Can I get into Veterinary School after 6th form with Biology and Chemistry A Level?

I'm currently considering choosing music BTEC and Biology and chemistry at 6th form, I have both an interest in sciences and performing, but I am considering choosing a career as a veterinary nurse, will I still be able to study being a veterinary nurse at university if I choose to go through with this, or do I need to choose something else?
For Vet Nursing those subjects are fine - even for Vet Science those are fine. And doing 2 A levels ad a BTEC is also fine.

Universities usually only specific two subjects max for any degree, so 'third subject' is usually wide open, and just needs to be something where you are confident of a good grade. If you enjoy performing arts, go for it.

Bristol as one example .....
Vet Nursing - 'BBC including BB in Biology and another science-related subject' - http://www.bristol.ac.uk/study/undergraduate/2021/vet-nursing-biovet-science/bsc-veterinary-nursing-and-companion-animal-behav/
Vet Science - 'AAA or A*AB including Chemistry and one of Biology, Physics or Mathematics' .http://www.bristol.ac.uk/study/undergraduate/2021/vet-science/bvsc-veterinary-science
Here you can see how they relate A level grades and BTEC grades - http://www.bristol.ac.uk/study/undergraduate/entry-requirements-qualifications/uk-qualifications/#btec PS. Just make sure you also check the GCSEs.
