Welcome :D

Make sure to keep in school in order to keep your IT/Computer Science options open, ensure you keep up with your Maths. Maths is the backbone of most programming.

Left school at the end of 6th form, 12 years into my IT career now and doing quite nicely I think. maknz is right though, if development is your path then you'll need to be studious. If not then practical knowledge and experience will carry you a long way.
