There are standard entry requirements for each job within the Army, if you do not meet the educational requirement outlined then you will not be able to start training. However; I would contact your local careers office to see what your options are with the qualifications your have.
Below is the link to what qualifications you require for soldiers and officers in general.

Do you leave school early to become a junior solider and where do you train?

So this is the education bit that you need to check but also phone the national recruiting centre to talk about your specific circumstances on 0345 600 8080. Link: https://apply.army.mod.uk/how-to-join/can-i-join/qualifications
