Any advice for UK boarding schools?

I need help, my daughter is going to boarding school in UK, in 6th form, to pass IB. Do any of you know any good co-ed boarding school, like Sevenoaks or Wellington College which she could go too?

Bromsgrove? UWC? You have mentioned the best two already

Do you have family / friends in the UK where she will go for exeats and half terms ? You will need to factor in travel between the school and theirs. eg you might want to think twice about Marlborough if you planned for your DD to spend her exeats and half term with Gran in Aberdeen

Update: She has been accepted to Brentwood, Haileybury and Oakham.
and waitlisted to Sevenoaks. We haven't applied to UWC yet, but we are not sure if it is even needed. She is thinking about going to Haileybury if she is not accepted to Sevenoaks. And yes she has family in London. What do you think?
