KS4 Art & Design (Fine Art)
Art
This two year course is designed to offer students the opportunity to work in a range of materials both 2-D and 3-D, experiment with their own personal ideas and develop a range of creative processes. Students will develop skills learnt in Key stage 3 and will also investigate different themes and subjects from the work of other artists to aid in their creative process. Year 10 is an opportunity for students to develop their skills and learn new techniques.
Assessments are based on the recording, development, refinement and presentation of an idea. Student success at Art GCSE can be attributed to skills in handling materials and a disciplined approach to productivity, ensuring work is produced to the highest of standards and the deadlines met.
The course is made up of two components; a Portfolio (60%) and an externally set task (40%). Pupils will be expected to: develop artefacts and personal outcomes in relation to their chosen area of study. The Portfolio is made up of practical work, which explores the skills, knowledge and understanding in the learner’s chosen practical area of study. This specification is 100% non-exam assessment; all components are internally marked and externally moderated by visit.
A GCSE in Art & Design (Fine Art) can lead to further studies and potential employment in fields such as:
• Graphic Design
• Illustration
• Fine Art
• Fashion
• Interior Design
• Theatre Design
• Filmmaking
• Architecture
• Photography
• Animation
The course offered has high expectations in terms of the work produced both in terms of quantity and quality, but the personal rewards are well worth the hard work!
Any questions regarding GCSE Art & Design please speak to Mr Everson or Miss Pearce.

School Synergy Launch/Access codes supplied - Monday 11th September
​
We have recently introduced School Synergy at Lode Heath School. This system helps manage and report on many aspects of school life including behaviour, homework, attendance, and communication.
We invite you to create a new Parent Portal Account so that you can view information tailored for your child. For our launch you will be able to view parent letters, school calendar/events, student timetables and behaviour. The behaviour module provides a real time view displaying positive comments and points awarded as well as informing you where aspects of behaviour may be limiting progress.
Our vision is that School Synergy becomes the single access point for Parents and Carers providing up to date school news and information, a place to communicate and engage with school and the ability to track the progress and development of your child as it happens.
