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 Courses Evening took place on Thursday 13 March 2025. Mr McAlinden’s PowerPoint presentation from the evening is available to view.

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 contains vital curriculum information about each of the subjects that Isleworth & Syon will be offering from 2025-2027.

All Key Stage 4 course choices must be submitted electronically through the application form. Students were emailed the direct link on Monday 17 March.

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 vocational courses.

If you have any queries about the application process, please email Mr McAlinden directly.
