Completed this crossword with some difficulty. Please can someone help with the parsing of 1 down.
The clue is: School subject's stopped because it's of little value (8). The solution requires an added letter X as per the special instructions to make SIXPENCE. I simply can't see why.

Science with p inside (stopped)
Sorry - that's not it!
P(penny) inside science ?
That's what I thought but there's an extra c in science
I missed that..

Thanks both. I don't understand why 'stopped' might mean putting a P in a word. And as you correctly write SCIENCE has two Cs. Still love to hear any theories.
Sixpence - 'PE' (stopped; is in) 'since' (because) + 'x'
Thank you!
Thanks, L-i k, brain can now grind to a halt.

Thank you for the answer. I would never have got there.
