thanks for the replies guys! I've got one more question within a question to ask and thought I should ask her before making a new post. There is a possibility that I could be moving back at the end of 2014 or beginning of 2015, which would mean I only get to finish Year 9 in Australia (at the age of 15. 16 in 2015). Now, I'm aware I would then miss the first term of UK school but if I had enough credits from my work over in Australia, would it be possible to pop in to UK year 11 or something then and do the GCSE's? or if not what would I do for the 7 odd months that are left in the UK school year?
