Do they have to accept me?

I need urgent advice

For context: - GCSE results day is this Thursday. - In the UK education is compulsory until 18, a new law as of September 2013.

I 17F have just completed my last year of school. I suffer from anxiety, which my school were aware of and accommodating. I stressed my concerns about further education at the beginning of the academic year (September 2021) and they didn’t offer ‘help’ until a month before exams. In May this year, they offered me an alternative, 1-1 tutoring. As due to my anxiety, college isn’t the place for me, long hours and I’d physically struggle to attend and be in large groups of people, I’ll end up getting kicked out.
On Friday, I got a call from the careers adviser saying he’ll pass on my number… I haven’t heard anything since. Verification (for enrolment to places) and GCSE results day is TOMORROW and I have no further education to go too.

I applied for my schools Sixth Form program in the middle of the night on Monday, filled the form out and also express I understand the lateness of the application. I haven’t heard anything about it. Tomorrow when I go to collect my results, I will talk to the head of Sixth Form and see what he has to say about my situation.

I’ve been suffering very severe panic attacks, I’d even go as far as to say existential crisis due to the stress of trying to get accepted some where.

As it is law to be in compulsory education until you are 18, do they HAVE to accept me? What is the most likely outcome of this situation?
