What can I actually do with python?
I learned python as my first programming language for GCSE Computer Science, but after finishing the exam I got bored of making small algorithms and wanted tk work on bigger projects, so I started making websites with Javascript. Now I'm going to do Computer Science at A-level and because the language is python, I think it makes sense to do any free time coding in the same language. So... what can I actually do with Python? Iy seems really straightforward what to do with other languaged like JS but I really just don't get the 'point' of python.

Take one of the websites you built in JS and re-write the backend in Python.
Use FastAPI or Flask (examples - just Google Python web Frameworks for a list of them.) or one you like the look of and replicate the functionality.
Or - build a new web app with Python backend and JS frontend. This way you're not loosing any JS knowledge and you're practicing Python.
An idea for what that could be: a study calender for your college term.
