School hadn't registered me for 2 of my GCSEs

Self explanatory. But my school hasn't entered me for 2 of my 8 GCSEs?? I'm supposed to be taking Eng Lan, Eng Lit, Maths, Combined Science, History, DT, Art and Spanish.
I don't know why but they haven't registered me for DT and History but has decided to enter me in for Spanish. They don't have any teachers that facilitate Spanish and yet enter me in and neither does DT???? According to their logic shouldn't I not take Spanish? They also made me take Foundation for Science despite my predicted being 7.
I really don't know what to do, they just gave me the timetable after realising they haven't handed it to me after my appointment last week and I'm panicking since I'm sitting my biology this friday and I require both of the GCSEs I'm not registered for my courses.
What do I do??

You explain the above to your school, as they're the only people who can do anything about it.

Your school will have an exams officer - that's the ideal person to talk to. Failing that, anyone on the senior leadership team. Even your form tutor would be better than no-one.

You need to make it very clear that the situation is unacceptable and that need to resolve it. If you don't feel comfortable doing that yourself, then get your parents to do it.

Your school was meant to show you all your entries and make you sign to confirm it was all correct??

Tbf I don’t remember having to sign anything in sixth form at least (maybe my mum signed the document for me at GCSE) unless my memory was foggy. My sixth form exams officer was pants to the point where I was tempted to fill out a form to send to JCQ (because they started an exam earlier than what was allowed, plus they screwed up other crap anyway).

So some schools seem to just have crap exam organisation and/or exam officers who don’t seem to fully know what the hell they are doing.

Your probably correct (that you have to sign a paper) but I don’t remember having to do that (my sixth form had no idea how to properly run exams imo).
