English, maths and biology is generally what you need for midwifery.
Check out your possible chosen universities for the midwifery degree course entry requirements as each university sets their own entry requirements throughout the UK and then do the necessary grades that you will need for midwifery degree.

What qualifications do I need to study midwifery at university.......
Each university sets its own entry requirements to get onto a full-time degree in midwifery (as do employers offering degree apprenticeships), but as a general guide you'll need at least 5 9-4/A-C grade GCSEs (including English and a science subject) and at least 2 (preferably 3) A' levels - biology may be required .

It really does depend on the uni. For example, Salford doesn't have any subject requirements at A level:

https://www.salford.ac.uk/courses/undergraduate/midwifery

Whereas Herts wants at least grade B in a Biological or Behavioural/Social Science:

https://www.herts.ac.uk/courses/undergraduate/bsc-hons-midwifery-pre-registration

And Northumbria wants an A-level in a Science or Health related subject, or recognised equivalent:

Use the NHS course finder to have a look at the requirements for unis you would consider:

If you don't have the required subjects for the majority of options, then talk to your school now to see if you can swap an A level.
