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.

Enrichment
Through our enrichment programme we aim to promote the highest standards of personal and interpersonal behaviour and contribute to offering the widest breadth of challenge and opportunity in a happy and caring environment. Enrichment does not merely support the academic curriculum but has its own educative purpose supported by its own detailed schemes of work.
Main aims:
-
to help pupils to lead confident, healthy and responsible lives as individuals and members of society
-
to empower pupils with the basic skills, experiences, knowledge and attitudes that are required to help them live healthily and deal with the spiritual, moral, social and cultural issues they face as they approach adulthood. The pupils should be prepared to be active, confident and responsible members of society
-
to provide opportunities to reflect on their experiences and how they are developing in order to help pupils manage a wider range of relationships responsibly
-
to help develop pupils' well-being and self-esteem, encouraging belief in their ability to succeed and enabling them to take responsibility for their learning and future career choices
Lode Heath’s Enrichment programme is delivered through many aspects of school life including: the whole school curriculum, the form time and assembly programme, Character and Personal Development lessons (CPD) and one-off events including guest speakers, workshops and drama performances. This is further supported by extra-curricular clubs, trips and visits.
Topics are introduced to the students at the appropriate time in a spiral/progressive system that allows, as much as possible, specific concepts to be revisited.
During the 2020-2021 academic year, Relationship and Sex Education (RSE) and Health and Wellbeing have been made a statutory requirement.
British Values and Lode Heath School
During their journey from Year 7 through to Year 11 our pupils gain:
-
An understanding of how citizens can influence decision-making through the democratic process
-
An appreciation that living under the rule of law protects individual citizens and is essential for their wellbeing and safety
-
An understanding that there is a separation of power between the executive and the judiciary, and that while some public bodies such as the police and the army can be held to account through Parliament, others such as the courts maintain independence
-
An understanding that the freedom to choose and hold other faiths and beliefs is protected in law
-
An acceptance that other people having different faiths or beliefs to oneself (or having none) should be accepted and tolerated, and should not be the cause of prejudicial or discriminatory behaviour
-
An understanding of the importance of identifying and combating discrimination
