Hi
Both my daughters did computer science at Uni and are both in the industry one as a developer.
For A levels they did computer science (Not IT) and maths,though physics would be a good choice to replace one of them if you like it.

If you are thinking of games development and are in England then have a look at Hull universities computer science with games development as a degree after your A levels,as they are the industry standard .
If in Scotland I believe Aberdeen does a similar course.
