Recommend a mixed secondary in London

Is it possible to find a good mixed state secondary school in London? Does anyone recommend their child's school?

We are looking for one and willing to move so area not an issue. However we are not churchgoers and so a church school not a great fit. The only high achieving state secondaries I ever find in my research are single sex or Catholic, neither of which will work for us.

Holland Park is over 30% pupil premium.
Yes, but I do not believe they get a fraction of the attention and care that the rich and famous ones get.

Much better to choose a school that will treat all its students equally, and value them whatever their background and potential.

Definitely recommend Grey Court in Ham (Richmond upon Thames). Fabulous education for young people whatever their ability levels, including high-achieving academically. My DD has attended for past three years and I can't speak highly enough of it.
