Bournemouth School students are currently forced to study 4 A-Levels. Studying the additional subject requires more time and dedication, yet universities only consider 3 A-Level results, rendering the obligation to study 4 obsolete.

Schools should promote the wellbeing, performance and independence of their students, not endanger their future success by dictating what is right and wrong.

Why should students be forced to intensively study 4 subjects when the work burden would be too great and when universities only require 3?

With this in mind, we request that this policy is overturned and the students' right to self determination is restored.
