also it will take her time to settle and adjust to the british school system

i suppose she could apply to go to college if she came in march next year, to start in sept.

i think she will have to pay international student fees for her going to college, could be £3,000 a year and then for uni to..

as Non-EEA nationals are required to be here for 3 years before the start date of their course to apply for home fees

i'm pretty sure what i've said here is correct, but check with a college or with the immigration people
I totally agree. You should get here and into school as soon as possible regardless of term times. When she arrives, give her a week or so to acclimatise and then get her into school, because as Joe says, at her age there is no time to lose if you want her to leave school here with some qualifications.

Filipino qualifications don't seem to mean anything here in the UK, so it's what she can achieve with the limited school time here in the UK that she can have, even at this late stage, that will determine whether she can leave school with at least some GCSE qualifications or even go on to reach university eventually.
