Studying for GCSE A Levels in Singapore

Hello,
we are a UK family in the process of moving to Singapore and our 16 year old son was about to start Sixth form in the UK where he was due to study A levels. Looking at the internet there seem to be very few schools where he could do that in Singapore in English as most seem to offer the International Baccalaureate. Tanglin does but they are over-subscribed for the Sixth form. Can anyone recommend a school where he could study for A levels starting in September this year?
Many thanks, Steve

I'm 17 and i am a local student in singapore. well, i think at 16, your son should be studying for his O'levels... but anyways for A'level there are many Junior Colleges that should accept him. You can always check that up with the Singapore Embassy. they will tell you whatever requirements that your son may need. there are also plenty of
International Schools such as the
Australian International School around so just check it up over the internet.

At 16 I would think most UK kids have all their "O" levels

Local
Junior Colleges (JC) prepare their students for the GCE 'A' levels or pre-university

Thanks everyone for the input, very much appreciated. My son has just finished his GCSE's (the old O levels) in the UK and would be starting his A levels in September if we were staying in the UK
Chatsworth looks like a great school but it offers only the International Baccalaureate, and the only place we've found via the web that does A leels is Tanglin which is over-subscribed.
Anyway, many thanks again
Regards
Steve
