GCSE subjects don't really mean anything in terms of wanting to become a pilot, what you do need though is enough GCSE's to get the A levels needed.

GCSE subjects are maths and English at grade C or above (but it is best to aim for A* it is a very competitive job) and the other subjects are optional (even in something like knitwear (if they do it :S) but again as it is so competitive its best to have a more academic subject... sciences, history etc)

As for A-level you need to A levels grade G or above I know G! and they can be in any subject (but like the GCSE's the higher the grade, and the more the academic the subject the better)

Remember, however that grades don't mean a lot. They are just a type of filtering process to stop time-wasters and social rejects who go into an AFCO and think becoming a pilot is as easy as becoming an infantryman. It's more down to what the person is like and other requirements such as no hay fever etc..
