Sixth Forms (Private or state)

I'm looking to move my DD at sixth form, but I'm in a bit of a dilemma as to what ones to look around as there are so many out there. We would like to have good Music and Sport (hockey especially) but we also want it to be academic (eg. in the top 100 schools in exam results). One of the key reasons for moving is we feel she is seen as a statistic and is not getting the notice she deserves for the amount she does for the school.

If anyone has any ideas of schools that might suit her please comment as we are nearing the Open day period, thanks

Where do you live as your local schools would surely be your first option - or is boarding a possibility

Sorry, forgot to add! If we went down the state route we would like the school to solely be a sixth form, we understand that we would probably not get the music or the sport there but it would be a possibility to do it outside of school. I think we would prefer to go private though as we would (with the right school) get the music and the sport along with the high academic standards.
