He is very interested in computers and it would be good to get him into a tech school or an apprenticeship.
This link to Birmingham City Council education services will give you lots of help - Education in Birmingham.

The UK has a diverse range of computer subjects and I am sure that your son won't have any trouble finding something that he likes to study at college. He will probably do a two or three year course at college, which can lead to University.

With regard to apprenticeships, you can dream - they are more or less non-existant now.

Good luck with your interview.

Michelle
