The Chase
About The Chase
The Chase sits within Worcestershire’s secondary school landscape as a mixed, non-denominational state school for pupils aged 11 to 18. In a local authority with 47 secondary schools, it ranks among the top performers, though it sits just behind the three highest-scoring peers: Nunnery Wood High School, Prince Henry’s High School, and Haybridge High School and Sixth Form. Headteacher M J Fieldhouse leads a large school of 1,407 pupils in Malvern Hills, and the school’s most recent Ofsted inspection rated it Good overall. That places it in the majority of Worcestershire schools, where only six out of 47 have achieved an Outstanding rating. The school’s facilities are notably broad for a state secondary, including a swimming pool, chapel, astro turf, and dedicated sixth form centre, alongside music rooms, art studios, and science labs. This combination of strong local standing and extensive on-site amenities gives The Chase a distinctive position among its Worcestershire peers.
