I don't know much about the system in Northern Ireland, but certainly in England, schools have their own policies when it comes to which GCSEs they allow their students to take. You could always sit some GCSEs as a private candidate if you so desire (but there's the exam fee of course).
Again, without knowing how the N.I. system works, in terms of repeating Year 11 in England that wouldn't generally be permitted. Entry into sixth form can very from one institution to the next, but quite common for entry requirements would be 5 GCSEs at grades 4+ including English Language and Maths.
