Best selective sixth forms in London?

Hello!
I have to write some applications out sometime soon, and so obviously I need to find some good places to apply to. As long as it's in London, distance isn't much of an issue as I live near the center. No private ones please, too poor. No all-girls schools because I'm not a girl. The subjects I'm aiming to do - not that it probably matters in this context? - are either Maths, Chem/Bio/Phys, or Maths, FM and Phys/Chem. Grades shouldn't be an issue, hit me with the hardest! Competition is great.

Thanks.

holland park school

Woodhouse SFC

Hello!
Why do you consider this to be worthy of my application? Are there any stand-out elements which would impress me?
Thanks.

ahhhhh, yeah they're strict on that, for cardinal Vaughan you have to be baptised before 18 months, like for real? I really don't like holland park, at the entrance exam we got a 2 hour lecture from the head teacher about how it's the most expensive state school in the country, and that if ur not academically gifted you'll be a social outcast Ect. :angry:

Hello!
This table seems to be a little easier to navigate, and with more information.
