Currently 16 UK, just finished gcses. Aspiring to be a pilot and have a few questions

Everyone on Reddit told me to come here so here I am. I have just finished my gcses and I have a 2-3 month holiday now and I want to get some flight lessons and experience in. I first looked at biggin hill flight lessons but they are extremely overpriced, 5 hours being around £2250. After looking and researching a bit more I have arrived to the conclusion that redhill offers a decent price. It’s also near me, it’s around 220 for 60 mins on a two seater. As I want to get some hours in and the fact that I have no prior experience and I want to know more about piloting is this a good way to go about it? Fortunately for me money isn’t really a big issue, I would just like to know what I can do this summer to get as much flight experience that will benefit me in the future and ofc have some fun. But are there better alternatives? Btw I am planning to go sixth form and flight academy after. I’ve got many questions about this as well but since it’s quite early I don’t think excessive research on this is necessary right now. I suppose I am going to be 17 soon in a bout 4 months, is it time for me to look at flight schools?
