Gerrard was a highly influential artist and teacher, mainly at the Slade where he became Head of Sculpture from 1948-68, and his pupils included Karin Jonzen, Eduardo Paolozzi and F. E. McWilliam who would later write on his work. 

Gerrard had an exhibition at Colnaghi's alongside his wife Katharine Leigh-Pemberton in 1931 as well as a retrospective at the South London Gallery in 1978. His works are found in public spaces including 'Development of Man' at Bridge Street, Hemel Hempstead, 'The North Wind' at St. James's Park Underground (alongside works by Eric Gill, Henry Moore and Jacob Epstein) and at St. Anselm's Church in Kennington. Works are also in public collections including the Imperial War Museum and Leeds Art Gallery.

Towards the end of the artist's life he would turn repeatedly to his beloved cat as a subject, exploring his movement and physicality in a repeated series of drawings. This led to the latter stages of his career being dubbed 'The Tommy Years'.
