As a quick summary...
Predicted 4/5 in English Language... but 7/8 in Maths and Sciences.
Provisional choice for A levels is Maths, Biology, Chemistry.
The Colleges want 5 in Eng Lang for Science GCSEs.
Undergoing assessment for Exam Arrangements as Dyslexia is suspected.

Will her struggles in English affect her ability to cope with Science A levels? Honestly?
Her ambition is Primary teaching.

You might be better posting in further education.

Have a look at the requirements for Primary teaching degrees and work backwards. She might not need A levels. She could potentially do a T level or BTECs etc and still get into University.
