The 11 Plus test for Ernest Bevin College
Ernest Bevin College in Tooting admits through the London (Sutton, Redbridge, Kingston, Bexley, Barnet) 11 plus, which uses GL Assessment papers. The test covers English, Mathematics, Verbal Reasoning, Non-Verbal Reasoning. Most London boroughs use a two‑stage test: a first‑round multiple-choice paper, with a smaller cohort invited to a second paper.

Dates, pass marks and admissions criteria are set locally and change each year, so always confirm the current details with the school and your local authority.
