My daughter will be 15 in late November , and is currently completing her last year of compulsory high school here in Spain, as students finish secondary education one year earlier here than in the UK. We are coming to England in June next year as my daughter wants to do A Levels and go to university in the UK. My question is, she’ll only be 15 in September next year,(turning 16 in November) and too young to join 6th form, so what could she do? She will already have her GCSE equivalent certificate and I’ve seen schools accept the Spanish diploma for entering 6th form, but she’ll be too young. So for that year could she join year 11 and just take 3/4 GCSEs, the subjects she wants to do in Alevel, or would it be better for her to join a college?
Anyone with similar experience? We’re looking at state schools only. Thank you!
