You will also need to check out specific grades required in a particular subject for some courses. Remember when you apply from School, we are looking at your probable GCSE grades. We don't make any final decision until you have your results. In many cases this means we might work on a 'Plan A' and a 'Plan B' with you. No -GCSE qualification in a related subject can count towards this total but we will also look at your overall academic profile.
