the sixth form - Ernest Bevin College

OUR SCHOOL
Our school is successful and over subscribed school for boys aged 11-16 and with a coeducational
Sixth Form. We have first class facilities for learning and specialist status for
Sports, Maths and Computing.
With over 1,150 pupils on our roll, we are a
successful and thriving college. We are proud of
our academic community, which provides a
secure, disciplined environment where all
students can achieve to the best of their ability.
We have 60 selective places in every year open to
boys from any borough. The other 120 places are
offered in line with our admission criteria (see
inside back cover).
We have high expectations of all our students and
in return make a commitment to understanding
and meeting their individual needs. Our
commitment to excellence in all areas – academic,
artistic, sporting and personal behaviour is
reflected in our examination results and the
popularity of our college.
We are proud of state of the art facilities including
a cashless biometric system for payment of school
meals.
Ernest Bevin expects students to stay the full seven
years, taking advantage of our thriving coeducational
Sixth Form in our recently built
facilities.
Our aims
We aim to provide all pupils with equal
opportunities to achieve their full academic,
social and personal development.
We aim to maintain a stimulating educational
community within which all pupils’ individual
needs are known, understood and met, and which
enables staff and students to work in a cooperative
way.
We aim to ensure commitment to equality of
opportunity for all, regardless of ability, race,
gender or class, is shared by all and is central to
every aspect of college life.
We aim to provide structures which ensure that
pupils, staff, parents and members of the local
community are actively involved in the life of the
college.
We aim to give pupils an understanding of the
complex and changing society in which we live, so
that they are equipped to make autonomous
decisions, and cope with the demands of the
modern world.
“Teachers make the lessons interesting and help us understand. I like the opportunity to
do different learning activities.”
