Wow - when I was at school (which was only six years ago) most people only took nine! Congratulations everyone! I think it's great that there's a more diverse range of subjects available now. Kids are more likely to work hard for something which they enjoy and can see directly benefitting their future. I've heard that Whitstable Community College has a great range of vocational subjects - and that increase is amazing!
