Sixth Form Music Scholarships

Halfway through year 10 and had a sudden realisation that we need to start thinking about sixth forms! Can anyone tell me which state sixth forms offer music scholarships? Mostly looking in South West London but anywhere easy to get to from Clapham Junction is a potential for us.

Camden School for Girls (despite the name they take boys for sixth form!) might be too far away, but they have a music scholarship program Sixth Form - The Camden School for Girls

St Marylebone also offer one Year 12 Admissions – The St Marylebone CE School

West London Free School is also worth a look, although it doesn't offer a specific music scholarship it is a music specialist school West London Free School Sixth Form - Music

Tiffin School does

Thank you so much for the replies.
I think Kingsdale is what I was thinking of but couldn't remember. Tiffin would be great if she could work a little harder on anything outside of music.
Trying to avoid going north of the river (omg traffic when the trains fail 😱 and you need buses) but I'll take a look.
Would love to hear of any others.

For Kingsdale worth keeping an eye on their 6th form requirements as they change year on year.

They have both the Music Tech BTEC and the Music A level on offer. The department is HUGE and very well staffed (and the staff are all lovely) and their tech is all industry standard. If you get a scholarship they also take loads of care to match you to the right teacher for 1:1. Also not snobby about things like classical v contemporary or whether you take graded exams or not. There is no trying to put square pegs into round holes because they've got a gap in the oboe section...

The extra curricular music offer is also really good, so you can try lots of different things that you might not think of.
