Hey Sarah, its as good a place as any to start looking...Have a look in Wannabies thats full of info on how to get up the front, the different schools and costs.
The two main schools in the UK are Oxford Air Training and Cabair, but there are many many more smaller ones. There are two main ways to get your license, integrated (basicaly starting from scratch studying full time lasts about 18 months) and modular (where you start off with a PPL, private pilots license, and slowly work your way up part time, takes as long as it takes). Cost wise integrated is the most expensive and costs approx £60k ish and modular probably£40k ish.
Have a chat to the pilots you fly with Im sure they will be pleased to help.
Sadly I think the days of cadetships have gone, and getting a job as an ab-initio pilot at the end of it all isn't easy.
Hope thats a little help but its a huge topic that needs alot of research
