A levels without GCSEs

NAS71069

Hi there, my 16 year old wants to do A levels in Maths and Computer Science, but he doesn't have GCSEs. He has been home schooled for the last 3 years. I think he is academically capable, but does anyone know if this allowed or possible? And does anyone else have experience of this? Thanks :)

    He should be doing his GCSEs this summer, but he is disillusioned with the education system because of previous experience, so he just wants to get the bare minimum quals he needs that would help him get a job. He feels confident having aced every past paper at GCSE level, that if he is able to do the same with past A level papers then there's no need for him to bother with the GCSE.
