yes I did this for GCSE psychology. you can privately sit exams, although first I would try explaining to your school what you are doing and seeing if they can facilitate it. this is because I imagine it will be difficult to get between exams during your GCSE period (if you have to leave midway through the day to go sit another exam) and because if you sit it privately you will have to pay. there are lots of organisations which offer this service - I would recommend the one I use but you need to pick one near where you live. Good luck!!

Hey I am also taking further maths and finding out my story matches out with yours , I started further maths as a final decision a few weeks ago , within the first week I solved a 5 marker question , deemed harder by other students. It has extra topics , usually covered in 3 months but honestly your fine
