Key Stage 4 Options

Thank you for your interest in the Key Stage 4 Options process. All students in Year 9 undertake this process during the Spring and Summer Terms, to select the subjects that they will study at Key Stage 4 (Years 10 and 11). The Key Stage 4 Options Evening took place on Thursday 1 March 2019. Mr McAlinden’s PowerPoint presentation from the evening can be viewed by clicking here.

The application process will open during March 2019.

Please read all of the sections below completely and thoroughly.

Before completing your application, ensure that you read the Key Stage 4 Course Booklet completely and thoroughly. This booklet will contain vital curriculum information about each of the subjects that Isleworth & Syon will be offering from 2019-2021.

Mr McAlinden will also be hosting drop-in sessions for parents/carers before the application form is live. These sessions will take place on Tuesday 5 March (11.00am) and Wednesday 13 March (9.00am). Please note that these sessions are for parents/carers only; students will not be permitted out of lessons. To confirm your entry to one of these sessions, please either telephone the school, or email school@isleworthsyon.org

All Key Stage 4 option choices must be submitted electronically through the application form. Students were emailed the direct link on Friday 8 March; you can also access the form via the button below (students must login to their Office 365 account):

Options Form

Please note that if you navigate away from the form for any reason, you will have to re-enter information. Make sure that you enter information into each box, and be sure to check your application thoroughly before you submit it.

Students will make three firm choices, as well as three reserve choices from Options 2 & 3. Your reserve selections must not be the same as your previous three choices. Please note that all options are preferences, but they cannot be guaranteed. There must be sufficient interest in each course for it to be run.

Students must select different subjects for all of their choices; students should not choose the same subject in more than one option box.

At Key Stage 4, Isleworth & Syon School offers a mixture of GCSE and BTEC courses.
