THE SIXTH FORM<br />
Most of <strong>the</strong> <strong>Ernest</strong> <strong>Bevin</strong> students continue <strong>the</strong>ir education at <strong>the</strong> college, because <strong>the</strong>y<br />
know <strong>the</strong> staff, <strong>the</strong>y have enjoyed <strong>the</strong> facilities which <strong>the</strong> college has to offer and<br />
students feel that <strong>the</strong>y can continue to excel in familiar surroundings. We offer a wide<br />
variety of courses from A levels to Foundation studies.<br />
Sixth Form Centre<br />
Our purpose built Sixth Form accommodation was<br />
opened in September 2007. The centre includes<br />
large study rooms, a specialist media suite, ICT<br />
rooms, a self-study area, vending machines,<br />
lockers and kitchen facilities. The accommodation<br />
provides a centre for video conferencing and<br />
distance learning techniques.<br />
Admissions to Year 12<br />
We welcome external students to join <strong>the</strong> large<br />
number of students from Year 11 who chose to join<br />
our thriving Sixth Form. We particularly encourage<br />
applications from girls to join <strong>the</strong> co-educational<br />
environment. We run a wide range of academic<br />
and vocational courses and enrichment activities<br />
suitable for Foundation learning, BTEC and A Level<br />
and Extended Project. We believe that we prepare<br />
our students in <strong>the</strong> best way possible for <strong>the</strong>ir next<br />
steps in life.<br />
This year we are in our third year of partnership<br />
with Tooting & Mitcham FC. Their football academy<br />
is based here and 45 academy players complete<br />
<strong>the</strong>ir academic qualifications while fulfilling <strong>the</strong>ir<br />
training needs, coaching courses and fixtures at<br />
<strong>the</strong> club.<br />
This year we will launch <strong>the</strong> AASE programme<br />
which will enable elite athletes in sporting<br />
disciplines to continue <strong>the</strong>ir studies whilst<br />
receiving <strong>the</strong> best support possible to achieve <strong>the</strong>ir<br />
individual sporting goals.<br />

“Throughout my time in <strong>the</strong> Sixth Form I have received tremendous support from my<br />
teachers, whilst developing my sense of independence at <strong>the</strong> same time.”<br />
