Ealing State Schools which offer A- level music

My lovely partner wishes to reduce his hours and therefore his income as he is approaching his late 50's. His daughter is currently at a private school in year 11. She wishes to do A- level music. My partner would like her to change to a state school for sixth form, however her mother says that there aren't any State Schools sixth forms nearby which offer A- level music. Is this true?
Many thanks.

Merely reinforcing that your if your partner's health issues are such that reducing his working hours is desirable / necessary, then it is not selfish of him to want to do so and given the availability of alternatives, I hope that his DD herself will not see it otherwise. But if she would genuinely sacrifice his health, perhaps her mum will step up...

Maybe keep a few options open. As others have said Music at A Level is increasingly rare and some schools advertise it but only run it if they have enough students.They don’t always know the numbers until last minute. Check on numbers in past years to give an idea of how many took it.
