Hi! I recently came here in the UK months ago. I am currently 15 years old, turning 16 this August. Me and my mom are looking for schools here in West London. We are encountering problems since most sixth forms requires 5 GCSEs or an equivalent. I’ve been doing online class up until now with my current school in my country and will finish Grade 10 or Junior high school in June. I have been doing some research and I found out that I could partake in to GCSEs privately. In worst case scenario, if I wasn’t accepted to sixth forms here then I would challenge the GCSEs this year (I’m from a grammar school btw in my country) My brother does BTECs but I found out that A-levels have more options in terms of applying in Universities. Can I know what other options do I have? Is it a good idea to challenge the GCSEs (I will revise for it tho)? Also, can you recommend me some schools here in West London. Thank you
