Art Foundation

Foundation studies 

Art & design   

The Foundation in Art & Design and Media at Lawrence Sheriff School is an exciting course available to post A-Level students or adult learners with relevant experience. The introduction of this course to the Art Departments portfolio is a natural development and a reflection of the broad vision for innovative learning across the school as a whole. 

  fad2023

More about the course:  

The central location of Rugby makes it an excellent place to study a foundation in art & design, with exceptionally good road and rail links to all of the major cities from Birmingham to London in the south and Sheffield, Manchester and Leeds in the North and beyond. Rugby has historically been a Town with a proven track record for providing excellent educational opportunities for young people intending to progress to University or the workplace.   

Throughout the course you will be encouraged to explore a wide range of materials for expressing your thoughts and feelings, this enables you to identify which area of art and design you would like to pursue. On doing so individuals are encouraged to choose a specific pathway which will ultimately take you to the area of specialism identified. Whilst travelling down this pathway tutor support is provided to enable independent learning as the course progresses.  

Entry Requirements 

Prior to entry onto the course students must have achieved a minimum of five A*-C grade GCSE’s (or equivalents) these must include English and Mathematics and two A-C grade A-Level’s (or equivalents) these must include Art and/or Design Technology. Exceptions only apply to mature students with other relevant skills or experience; so long as they can provide a portfolio of work to the required standard.   

 

Course Content and Progression 

The Foundation in Art, Design and Media is designed for students to extend their knowledge and understanding of Art through the practice of making and historical, critical and contextual studies. The course has a strong emphasis on analysing and researching creative ideas; the introduction to this being through lectures from tutors and visiting speakers.  You will be allocated a personal tutor in stage two whose expertise matches your chosen area of study; this tutor will guide you towards good working practice resulting in the production of a portfolio of work that can be used for interview purposes. Students from Lawrence Sheriff School have been successful in applying for a wide range of courses including illustration, graphic design, fashion, architecture, environmental design, theatre design, photography, film, animation, and fine art including sculpture, printing, painting, ceramics and multi media courses.    

 

Application Process 

All expressions of interest should be emailed by the end of February in the planned year of study. Once submitted this will form the first stage of the interview process and a personal interview will normally follow.

From the Headteacher

Welcome to
Lawrence Sheriff School

Our vision is that we are a happy and successful school, where students know that they matter, that their voice is heard, and that they can and should achieve their very best. 

Our ethos is that we put people at the centre of all that we do and we do things the right way. We listen to each other even if we have different points of view, we talk to each other respectfully and we always act considerately.

Our aim is that all students find joy at school and that this leads them to achieve well academically. Our students achieve fantastic exam results through a curriculum that stretches them and is enriched. They are challenged to be Sheriff Learners by being curious, pro-active, resilient, reflective and organised; enabling them to confidently embrace and overcome whatever obstacles they may face.

Our pupils leave Lawrence Sheriff School as curious thinkers who have the confidence, skills and sense of social responsibility to make a positive contribution to the communities they join.

Please take the time to explore our website and learn more about our happy and successful school.

Teaching School Hubs Press Release

TSH1 LSS website

 

Lawrence Sheriff School selected to take a leading role in the development of teaching and learning across Coventry and Warwickshire.

Lawrence Sheriff is one the 81 schools in England selected to be designated as a new teaching school hub.

The department of education has created 81 hubs across the country to provide high-quality professional development to teachers and leaders at all stages of their career and to play a key role in teacher training.

Each hub, all of which will be operational from this September, will have its own defined geographical patch, serving around 250 schools each.

Retired Headteacher Dr Peter Kent commented: ‘we are delighted to be able to continue our work in this area, which began when we were designated as one of the country’s first teaching schools in 2012. We look forward to working with colleagues across all phases and sectors of education to address the challenges and opportunities of the coming years.
