KS4-Ready Evening 2026

9 September 2026

Dear Parent/Carer,

KS4-Ready Evening 2026 
Thursday 17 September 2026 (5.00 – 5.45pm)

As your son/ward has now entered Key Stage 4 and begun his GCSE courses, we expect that he is GCSE-ready. To help parents/carers with this transition, we are holding an expectations evening to explain how the partnership between home and school can help maximise his outcomes in the summer of 2027. 

During the evening, we will: 

• Explain how GCSEs are graded.
• Give you a copy of your son/ward’s GCSE school minimum target grades and explain what these mean.
• Advise you of the academic expectations for a GCSE student at Isleworth & Syon School and discuss how you can support your son/ward
• Introduce Work Experience and highlight the importance of securing a placement early. 

We ask that all parents/carers confirm their attendance using the online form sent via email – it will take less than a minute to complete. Please note that students are expected to attend the evening in full school uniform. 

We look forward to seeing you on Thursday 17 September. 

Yours faithfully,

Mr M Dargan
Assistant Headteacher – Pastoral Leader KS4
