honestly depends on your school. our school required a 6 or 7 in maths (can't remember sorry but it was one of those) for the sciences so foundation wouldn't have been accepted. double check with your 6th form.

Yes, I need a 6 in maths and biology.
I am currently doing higher maths but I’m just thinking about worst case scenario… if I got moved down to foundation maths would I no longer be able to get the grade 6? I’m not sure how foundation maths works

I didn't do foundation maths either but I'm pretty sure it only goes up to a 5?

Yeah, for our school we could do a level bio as long as we had certain grade requirements (5 in maths & 6 in triple)
