The ability to hold a class one medical is generally the main priority. Some flying experience to show you like flying and are serious about it would help. A clutch of good GCSE passes and some 'A' Levels preferably in science and maths subjects. Each sponsoring airline will detail what they requir on their websites/adverts/information packs.
eg www.flybe.com/jobs
Hope that helps a bit.
