the beauty of modular training is that you don't have to wait until you have saved up all the money to start, you can get a job and start training now. If you live on the cheap, you can easily get at least a couple of lessons a month and in a years time you will have a PPL.
You can then study ATPL distance learning for under £1000 which will keep you going for another year and a half. Whilst doing this, join a flying group to build your hours cheaply and start getting to know people within aviation.
these first steps are easily attainable for anyone who wants it enough, It of course requires sacrifice, but then what doesn't!
The expensive part comes later, but you can cross that bridge when you come to it. Lets face it, you have time on your side and just now there is no rush! good luck!

Edit - this is of course after you finish your A-levels! a very important point I forgot to add!
