Some employers will accept trainees who've got good a good general education (perhaps five A-C GCSEs, including Maths and English) plus general office skills and experience. (So that means ensuring that you're proficient in the various aspects of Microsoft Office. Additionally, some employers might seek staff with experience of Sage, especially if they're going to be dealing with payrolls).

Within some organisations it might be possible to progress to the top without formal qualifications but most employers would probably expect their senior HR staff to possess a relevant degree or CIPD qualification. Larger employers may encourage (or even require) their staff to study part-time at college, funded by the employer.

Pretty much agree with Chris except that Payroll is rarely a part of HR, more usually part of finance.
I've seen people taken on as HR Administrators, then work their way up through Personnel Assistant to Personnel Officer, then further up, taking the CIPD qualifications on their way up. That's if you are entering with A-levels or good GSCEs.
The other way is to enter with a degree-level qualification - not necessarily in a subject remotely related to HR. You'd then enter as a Personnel Assistant perhaps. Depends on the size and scale of the organisation.
