For any and every sixth form you must meet their gcse's grade requirements.

This can vary for each sixth form. Some require the equivalent of 5A*-C grades as the minimum for entry however to study a particular subject (e.g. chemistry) they typically ask for a B grade from your gcses (this is not certain, this depends which sixth form you apply to as some sixth forms have more competition and require A grades)

If your somali leavers certificate has the required equivalent grades to gcses needed for admission to a UK sixth form then you should be fine, if you don't have the equivalent qualifications to gcse then it may be a problem. However, email the sixth form(s) you're applying to and ask for their requirements and about if they have interviews.

Hope that helped
