as far as I remember from when my son was inbetween school and college that because he was still going to be in full time education ( though not at degree level) we were still entitled to and claiming child tax credits and child benefit- both of these are payable until the child is 19 or 20
I would advice Op to contact child benefit and TCO to confirm these facts0
