Is grammar school better than private school for A levels

I have to choose between two sixth forms and I'm finding it seriously hard.

Sixth form A is a private school, where I have a 25% music scholarship. It's called eltham college if anyone knows it. My younger brother also goes there and we don't get on particularly well. I know some people from my school who are going, and it's about a ten minute drive from my house. However my scholarship isn't particularly big, and I don't like some of the people I know are going there or who are there.

Sixth form B is a very good selective grammar school, which I didn't expect to get into at all- St olaves. My best friend also got in and is going, and she lives opposite the school so I could go to hers after school. It's further away that A, and I don't know anyone who's going. I'm totally unsure of which to choose

I personally would choose the private school because my experience between the two has meant that i prefer private schools but if you know people at school A then i would choose to start fresh.

No joke, I'm in the exact same situation. Which one did you choose in the end and do you regret it?

St Olaves has better results at A level overall than Eltham College. It has orchestras and other music groups plus many clubs and societies. It has a good rugby record. However it can’t compete with the facilities at Eltham College for the variety of sports, swimming pool etc.
