London boys/co-ed independent schools with good drama?

DS loves drama/performing and seems to have a talent for it - he has performed in professional theatre productions, including in the West End. He is currently in Y5 and we are starting to think about senior schools. He wants a school with very strong drama provision, but is also quite academic and prefers an "ordinary" senior school rather than a stage school where the range of academic subjects on offer would be more limited.

Does anyone have any recommendations for a London boys or co-ed school with an excellent drama department? Ideally we'd like a school that, as well as offering performance opportunities through school, would also be supportive of DS working professionally if he wanted to continue with this. A school that offers drama scholarships would be a bonus but these seem thin on the ground. Location-wise we are looking for north or central London but would consider a longer journey for the right school.

Would prefer not to be too precise with location to avoid outing myself, but closest transport links are Overground and Victoria lines.

UCS has a good drama department - all boys though. Productions go to the Edinburgh Festival from there too. Same for Portland Place (which is central but mixed school).
