Does Non-traditional A levels ruin chances of getting into flight schools?

I am currently in AS levels taking ICT and Media Studies (On track for a A/B in both) also retaking science as my Biology isn't great (Predicted a B in Physics and B/C in the Chemistry and Biology). Although CTC doesn't require A levels I'm concerned that my competition will be strong and may not stand much of a chance against people with Maths and Physics as A levels. Will candidates A level grades have a big influence if they are to be successful or not? I also do plenty of gliding with 66 hours (21 solo) also passed my Bronze theoretical exam and I'm also an Air Cadet so I have plenty of leadership skills and great working in teams, so you can tell I'm pretty keen! Any advice would be really appreciated
