Admissions summary

How places are prioritised

For September 2027, boys whose EHCP names the school are admitted first. Isleworth & Syon then prioritises looked-after boys, eligible siblings, applicants including a single-sex education preference statement and eligible children of direct staff before other applicants ordered by Hounslow's official walking-route measurement.

September 2027 entry

Isleworth & Syon School for Boys Year 7 admissions criteria

Priority order

  1. Boys whose EHCP names Isleworth & Syon School for Boys
  2. Looked-after and previously looked-after boys
  3. Boys meeting Isleworth & Syon School for Boys' sibling criterion
  4. Applicants whose form includes a statement demonstrating a preference for single-sex education
  5. Eligible children of direct Isleworth & Syon School for Boys staff
  6. All other applicants, ordered by Hounslow's official walking-route measurement

Sibling priority

The sibling must be a blood, half, step, adoptive or foster brother living at the same home address and on roll at the school. If the older child is in Year 11 or Year 12 when the application is made, the school checks whether they are expected to remain in September 2027.

Children of staff

Priority applies to a child living with a parent who is a direct employee of the school, in any role, and has worked there for at least two years when the application is made.

How distance is measured

Hounslow measures the walking route from the property's official LLPG or NLPG seed point to the nearest school gate used by pupils, using Mapx, Synergy and the Ordnance Survey MasterMap Highways Network. SchoolRange cannot reproduce that official route; postcode-centre straight-line distance is indicative only.

Evidence to prepare

  • A statement on the application form demonstrating a preference for single-sex education, if claiming that priority
  • Proof of the permanent home address used for the application
  • Sibling details if claiming sibling priority
  • Employment evidence if claiming children-of-staff priority

Other published rules

  • Applicants tied within a criterion are ordered by walking distance.
  • Where blocks of flats are treated as one address, the lowest flat number normally has priority.
  • Any remaining unresolved equal-distance tie is decided by drawing lots in the presence of an independent witness.
  • If the final available place falls to one child from a multiple birth, the school offers places to the other children from that birth even if PAN is temporarily exceeded.

Application deadline

Apply through the council where your child lives, even if the school is in another borough.

What recent offers show
