I enrolled to NCS but couldn’t do further maths Cus I didn’t get a 9 in maths (got an 8🙃) so I replaced it with politics. Should I do chemistry instead?
Brampton invited me late, I’m on my way there but idk if there will be any spaces for my chosen subjects there. Any advice? And hbu guys?

At the end of the day, the school you end up choosing has a limited bearing on your final A2 grade, it is mostly down to yourself. Chemistry is also more versatile than politics in my experience.

Hey
This is for someone who has went LAE Tottenham or Brampton Manor, so I've successfully managed to enroll into both however have to make a choice as to which one I want to go to.
I"m at this point so confused so have come here for advice, first of all commute for LAE Tottenham is 35 mins and Brampton Manor 1hr and 15 mins, so commute is slightly longer. Second of all, I already know a few people going LAE so less concern of making friends however I'm happy to make friends if necessary. Next, I've saw Brampton has significantly higher results and also the outcome of the students going to Oxbridge, if not Russell group unis, but LAE Tottenham has opportunities also where fewer students do well and also are able to continue on to Russell group unis and very few Oxbridge. I also see Brampton has a fair selection of clubs but so does LAE. I'm not too fussed on commute or friends but is Brampton worth that extra travel per day and also the fresh start?

as long as you do good in your other subjects and just say that spanish was ur weak point they wont really mind but like ur spanish grade has to be 6+ bc i can imagine if u get like 4-5 they might be a bit yk

i’m thinking of apply next year but my school’s making me do foundation maths
But all my other predicted are 9s with obviously the one 5 in maths i’ve tried to convince them to let me do higher but they said it’s too late in the curriculum so i’m scared that will be a problem😪

honestly you can’t get into brampton or ncs with foundation maths as it’s a STEM subject and they look at it (even if you are doing nothing STEM related for a levels). If i was in your position i would sit higher gcse maths privately and get the grade 8/9 in that way you can prove that you were capable and tbh learning the content is easy and shouldn’t be a problem with you if your other grades are 9s
