MEET EBC ’ S TIES
It is easy to tell what year a boy at Bevin is in because each year group wears a different colour tie . In September 2013 the new boys entering Year 7 will wear a yellow tie and be known as Yellow Ties until they finish Year 11 . Blue Ties will move into Year 8 , Red Ties to Year 9 , Green Ties to Year 10 and Purple Ties to Year 11 .
At the end of next year , when the Purple Ties move into the Sixth Form and don ’ t have to wear a uniform anymore , they will hand over the Purple Tie to the new cohort of Year 7 joining the college in September 2014 .
Ex-pupils identify themselves by their tie colour and have been known to dig out their old ties for college reunions !

I spent the last two years at an international school in Pakistan before I came to Bevin . I found it easy to make friends and really enjoy school . I like London a lot but it was a shock when it started snowing a couple of months after I started at Bevin : in Karachi it was very hot , sometimes 42 degrees !
I have really enjoyed Design Technology this year because we have made loads of different things . First of all we made a phone holder , and then we did a superhero project using graphics on the computer . In product design we made a box out of wood and acrylic and I ’ m now making a lamp . Food technology was probably the best subject , I really enjoyed making all the different things to eat . I also enjoy Science and Art lessons .
Cricket is my favourite sport and I am in the school cricket team . We lost the last match by two runs but aim to win the next one . I am an all-rounder – a batter and a bowler .

EBC was my first choice secondary school and so I was really pleased to start here in Year 7 . I went to Earlsfield Primary and a group of us came to Bevin together . I really enjoy English lessons and I love reading : my favourite books are the Cherub series . My favourite lesson is history because my teacher Mr Clarke really makes the lessons interesting .
I am on the College Council and have been involved in the Foodbank appeal . We are looking at getting solar panels fitted to the roof of the college because we think as a school we should lead by example .
My favourite sport is squash ( I played for Wandsworth at primary school level ) and I play after school . Unfortunately I can ’ t play squash at Bevin but I ’ m trying to change that . We ’ re doing basketball and cricket this term , and I like both because they are fun team sports .

I play the trombone . I am now at Grade 4 and play in the school jazz band . I also played at Royal Festival Hall
In Year 9 we chose our GCSE options and will sit exams in those subjects . As well as the compulsory subjects [ English , Maths , Science , Citizenship , RE and PE ] I am also taking Geography , History and French . My favourite subjects are Art and English .
I came to Bevin from Wimbledon Park in Year 7 and on my first day was picked out by Mr Rodman , the music teacher , because I play the trombone . I am now at Grade 4 and play in the school jazz band . I also played at the Royal Festival Hall with the Wandsworth Youth Orchestra . I had been practising the pieces for weeks but I was nervous . Thankfully all went well and I found that I was enjoying playing music I liked amongst other young people .
I would love to continue the trombone and the orchestra and then progress up the grades as I have great experiences performing .
