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 :)

    I've started that process today by looking online, but there are so many that I thought I'd post the question here first in case anyone has experience of it already. EdXcel seem to be good, but I'll take a look at your suggestions too thanks Aidie Slight smile

    there apprenticeships now as well in programming within civil service plus other places where he can code and earn. I have a nephew doing an apprenticeship and he loves it because he can work, earn money, and learn. So soon as he gets his  A levels look them up as well.

    look up your nearest further education establishment  and search their site for the A levels he needs. So he is close by. 

    Contact nearby schools especially high schools they could take him on as a pupil because he is still under 18.
