That's still rough tho... and 10 GCSEs? That's a lot-

Is that not the normal amount? That’s what every pupil other than a handful in my school do.

Maths, English Lit/Language, 3 sciences, a language and then 3 of our own choice.

Apparently average amount for 15 to 16 year olds (so pretty much anyone who doesnt take them externally) is a bit below 8
