While I'm sorry to see C go, I can't see any possible reason why a high-school level computing course should allow eight different languages.

  I believe it's not that each institution offers 8 languages, but that the exam board offers support and syllabi for 8 languages that the schools can choose from. They're chopping the languages that the fewest schools are choosing to teach.

    Yes, exam questions ask you to "write program code", http://alicious.com/2010/aqa-computing-exams-2009/ http://alicious.com/2010/aqa-computing-exams-2009/ rather than specifying the language. I wonder if they'd accept languages not in the syllabus? LOLCODE anyone?

      I'd pick that language that entirely uses whitespace.
