Which school would you recommend?

I'm doing a late application for our daughter and I'm doing it somewhat "blind" (we are expats moving back this summer and have not been able to visit the schools) I would be very grateful for any feedback on the Glos. Grammar schools which take girls.
My daughter is strong academically but she is quiet at school (not at home!), she is a rule follower, she is musical but not a performer, loves all things crafty such as crochet, sewing etc., not particularly into team sports but is a good runner, enjoys drawing, loves to read and to write stories, loves baking, is a bit of day dreamer but very responsible about homework etc., she is learning to horse ride and loves it, she is not one for "dramas" and will avoid anything like that at school, - which makes me a bit nervous for the all girl schools. Compared to some she is young for her age (which I love) in that she isn't interested in fashion, make up, celebrities, etc.
So which schools do you think might be a good fit for her? I'd love to hear feedback. Please PM if you would rather not post to the forum.
