Pick the options best suited to what you want to do in further education.

You can still do sport and art as hobbies and have the best of both worlds :)

you should do a mix of academic subjects and those you enjoy. if you over-load yourself with subjects that will have exam-based results you'll be a proper stressy-head!

can you contact a Connexions advisor and talk this through?

Was it your gut instinct to go for health and social care? If so, then leave it as it is. Just because you can change your choices, doesn't mean you should

The PE and art can be left for you to pursue in your own time as hobbies?

I think that Health and Social Care is a good choice of subject to go on to Psychology and Sociology. I did it at GCSE and thought lots of the priciples explored at GCSE were relevent in A Level Psychology.

Although it doesn't really matter what you have taken at GCSE for these A Level choices as long as you have achieved a good standard of English and Maths.

Probably best to follow your heart, as it can be a terrible experience doing 2 years of a subject your heart isn't in.

Go with the choices you feel happy with now, Laura. Schools and colleges have an unfortunate tendency to give you to understand that GCSEs etc are something you only ever get one chance at. This is not true and you can keep picking up qualifications if you want to - you might have to pay towards them as you get older but you can nonetheless always choose to take up a new GCSE or A-level. In addition, studying for A-levels is very different to GCSE and there is always the chance that you won't take to it and drop out. So do what you enjoy now and make later decisions, later.
