Further Maths as the third subject?

I am doing 4 subjects rn: Maths, FM, Physics and CS. I wanna do CS in a Russel Group uni. However, I find cs classes and the teacher very boring. Will my chance of getting into a good university decrease if I drop CA?

You find Computer Science classes very boring, yet you still want to study it at uni?

Dropping A level Computer Science will likely make no difference. Very few universities ask for it (although most ask for Maths). Most universities will be happy with Maths, Further Maths, and Physics for their Computer Science courses - including those within the Russell Group.

I learned C++ when I was 11 and have even worked for an IT company, gcses and a levels often just regurgitate things I already know

You don't need A level CS to study it at Uni - Maths / FM are far more important.
And, not enjoying CS at school doe not mean you wont enjoy it at Uni.
