You're 14? Oy, vey...I'm your opposite. I'm 41. Anyway...let experience talk here.
Qualifications for what? College? Work? Something else?
In any event, research first. If it is for a school, find out what the entry guidelines are, talk to some of the admissions folks, get their story.
If it is for a profession (hope you haven't decided at age 14...I was 30 before I settled on a career path!), hit the net and start figuring out what qualifications people in that field have. Of course, keep tabs on the industry as you grow older. The way a certain field looks today may and, in all probability, will be vastly different by 2012.
My two cents, FWIW.

It probably depends what you fancy doingfor work when you leave school/college, also what you are interested in, enjoy, and are good at. The qualifcartions that you definitely need are English and Maths because most colleges, employers etc will ask for those.
Sources of information are careers libraries at school or public libraries or on the web (google would be a good place to start). If you fancy doing something in particular then get in touch with the organisation that is doing it, and they will be able to advise you. If you are not really academically minded the NVQ's are a good qualification to have, and are mainly practically based (you have to show that you can do certain things obviously relevant to whatever subject you are studying.
Hope this helps.

This depends on what you are interested in and what you want to do. Good basic qualifications in english and maths are a must. Remember no job is for life. Why not make a list of things you like and are interested in and work from there.

If its for a college course then if you look at a prospectus it usually tells you what you need for that course.
Or for work in the future the Oppurtunity Centre or Job Centre could help you.
Good Luck x x
