College applications

Hi, I'm trying to apply to Brampton Manor and LAE for year 12 (2025), I'm doing triple science, English, maths and art as well as a level 1/2 award in the built environment. However, I can't apply to these colleges because the built environment doesn't count as a GCSE so I only have 7 subjects. I am not sure what to do, I was considering taking GCSE Polish (as I come from a Polish family and know how to read and speak it - I'm not good at writing but I will practise). Is it too late to apply for GCSE Polish in January? What should I do i want to go to Brampton or Lae :frown:

LAE student here! I think it would be worth doing it! It will give you another qualification which will be beneficial for university applications, and LAE is a very good school, so I think it is worth doing the extra work :smile:


thank you so much! Do you have any tips on what I could do to get all 8/9s in my GCSEs?
