Do well in maths and physics; take maths and physics at A Level; engage in physics literature and media. I also think further maths is a necessity for theoretical physics specifically, since it's more mathematical than typical physics. Really that's all you do; you can expect a lot of maths and good employment prospects if you graduate with good honours at a good university.
