with these a levels does CS not look like a possible degree?
It's possible, but depends where you're looking at going. Look at the entry requirements and what subjects are essential (e.g. Maths) and what subjects are beneficial (e.g. Further Maths).

Also, does your school not do Computer Science A-level?

Maybe have a look if you can find statistics on what A-levels successful applicants took. Look at what's high up on the list.
