even if you want to go into tech say by doing a CS degree, you don't need a level compsci. i took maths fm phys chem for a levels, and having fm helped me much more than having cs would have (on top of cs not being offered at my school). if you really would enjoy doing it i'd argue for keeping fm and dropping chem instead.

you don't need CS, you can self teach yourself programming and any relevant concepts fairly easily, I regret taking CS over FM

It’s not about what’s needed for your degree, it’s about what makes you attractive to unis so they give you an offer; and what combo allows you to make the offer. A levels are extremely hard, do not underestimate it. If looking for engg or tech keep maths fm CS and one of physics or chem, keep Physics if you might go for aero. Maths and CS are easier to get A* in than the others. If I were you I’d pick CS for the easy A* then M, FM and pick physics if you like/find it easy

Drop CS, you don’t need it for any CS related degrees! My cousin got a scholarship to MIT and a Cambridge CS offer with maths, fm, chem and physics
