Physics at GCSE is fine once you learn all the formulas (and know how to rearrange them)
Chemistry...well I hated Chemistry but it isn't hard.
If you do on to BBC bitesize as well as get yourself the exam board text books and teh CGP revision guides then you will be good to go. If you struggle maybe get a tutor or even a friend who maybe took/is taking the subjects at A-level to help.
Also, school ethos? Preventing students from studying STEM subjects that the global economy is in need of? Are you by any chance a girl studying at some sort of really traditional school? Do you wear a dress down to your feet and sometimes lift the dress above your ankles to tease the boys?
It is required by law for pupils to take atleast one science isn't it? And yes it's possible. It's memorisation and practising questions.
I taught myself an Astronomy GCSE over a year and came out with a good grade
When I did my GCSEs Maths, English, Science was all compulsory then not long after they changed it to just maths and english I think. So perhaps the maths counts as the compulsory science maybe.

Or perhaps she goes to a school where there's more emphasis placed on BTECs and vocational qualifications.
Which sort of 'traditional' school are you referring to?
Definitely. If you get the revision book for your exam board and course, you can just memorise the majority of it and you'll sail through. It's pretty much what I did as my teacher was useless.
You can teach yourself any university course that doesn't require lab work if you wanted. As long as you have the resources it's not too difficult to learn anything.
I self taught myself through GCSE, A-level and the first year of uni (classes aren't my thing, I don't like getting out of bed).

This type of traditional school

Well BTECs are essentially vocational GCSEs. So if this is the case she has already covered most of the content (if not all of it) so there would be no reason to 'self-teach' the GCSE. All she needs to do is be entered for the exam and buy a few revision guides and learn the content from by heart (something BTECs don't require).
And I was clearing joking, well done for being a so humourless. Are you from the USA by any chance?

Unless they've started studying GCSEs in America, then no. And nonsense I adore your satire, *yawn* please do go on
