GCSEs
The [Extension College] do GCSEs, IGCSEs and much more in a large range of subjects. There is a cost for doing the courses with them. Different courses have different costs attached depending on the amount of coursework and other requirements. There are a number of other organisations that offer a similar service.
See http://www.fbright.freeserve.co.uk/HE/gcses_how.htm for an idea of how one family have done GCSEs.
International GCSEs
Some subjects are available as International GCSEs through either EdExcel or Cambridge exam boards. These exams have the advantage of being available in a final-exam-only option, which means that you do not have to find a school or college to mark course-work. However, you do still have to find an exam centre, which may limit the usefulness depending on your area. See http://www.edexcel-international.org/quals/igcse/ and http://www.cie.org.uk/qualifications/academic/middlesec/igcse/subjects for more details.
