Gcse grades and Cambridge Law

Hi, hopefully this reaches ppl who have more knowledge of Cambridge, specifically law. So I am going into year 12 September 2024, and I know I want to study law there (ofc not a guarantee I’ll even get in lmao) but I am worried they’ll look at my gcse grades and think they’re not good enough. I don’t know my results yet but I have a pretty good prediction. I’ll write it here:
English Lang - 8
English Lit - 8/7
Maths - 5
Triple science - 665
Spanish - 9
French - 9
Geography - 9
Drama - 9
I want to do 4 a levels too , or at least 3 a levels with an epq. I’m going to do french, Spanish and either sociology / English lit
Do I have to worry about my gcse grades? Even if I get 3 or 4 A stars at A level?
The Uni of Cambridge website states:

"There are no GCSE (or equivalent) requirements for entry to Cambridge.
We will look at your GCSE results as an indicator of your academic performance. But this will be within the context of the performance of the school/college where you achieved your GCSEs"

Thank you, this makes me feel better. Although I revised a lot for my gcses, I’m still really worried about my results. I should be guaranteed to get a 9 in at least French and Spanish tho !

It's alright, I was nervous about my GCSE results as well despite revising a lot. You've done the best that you've can and that's the most important thing
