I was in top-set maths, did A-level physics...never did integration until Uni.

I can't remember learning "integration" in GCSE maths.

Mind you, I was in the class below the "highest" group.

Ahahahahaha, very true, but that's the case with a huge amount of education.
I personally had no interest in gym, craft design and technology or art.

I still had to do them though.

It's like teaching inner-city kids how to shoe a horse. 99% pointless.
