I checked this out - and yes.

Most A-level syllabi now are divided into modules with the schools have a choice over which they deliver. In some, calculus is a module that schools can choose not to deliver.

So, the universities now are starting to have to check which modules students have done in A level maths, not just the grade.

More common is schools who have dropped the mechanics module, which would be equally serious except that thankfully this material is still covered in A level physics. Usually - some schools are starting to drop that for some of the less useful but more fashionable options such as nuclear physics.
