How To Get a CPL

Hello guys !
Im 15 and going into year 11,
My dream is to be a commercial pilot when I leave school however I understand it is very expensive, I wouldn't like this to hold me back from reaching my dream. After doing some research i am under the impression that I first need a PPL, CPL and a ATPL.
PPL = aprox 13,000 GBP
CPL = aprox 12,300 GBP
ATPL = unknown
Is this accurate?

I am looking for the most cost and time-effective way to finish my CPL or whatever I need to stat flying passengers around.
What levels do I need (at GCSE ) ?
Do I need A-Levels or a degree if so which one's ?
How long will this take ?
How much will it cost all together ?
What Pilot school do i go to?
I don't mind travelling around the world... ( living in the UK at the moment )
How much do pilots get paid?
I am looking for professional & Smart advise

Thank-you so much for your time
