How to start at Y10 at 16 years old? (BNO from HK)

We're moving to Bristol from HK using the BNO route. My 16-year-old daughter, studying Secondary 4 in HK, would like to start at KS4 Y10 in the UK preparing for the GCSE exams. May I know how this can be achieved?

Have already tried emailing some schools but all of them do not agree with this approach, saying that she should be in Y12.

Any help would be much appreciated🙏

This doesn't really happen in the English system. You don't apply to the year group you want, its usually allocated on age. A college that offers GCSEs or equivalent are much more likely to take her.
