I take it you are just about to leave school?

It is not usual (or even advisable) to include a photo with your CV in England.

You need to include more detail - which subjects have you taken exams in, even if you haven't got the results yet.

Other information: What are your computer skills like. Can you say something like 'I am a confident computer user with experience in Word, Excel, Outlook and the internet' (whatever is relevant to you of course).

I know it is difficult to build much of a CV at your age but try and find something to 'sell' yourself a bit more. Write a paragraph personal statement 'I am honest, intelligent and hard working and I hope to build a long-term career in XXXX. I want to work in England because.......'

Have you any school/hobby responsibilities or work experience you could mention?
