The Chase Ranked Third Best State School in Worcestershire

The Department for Education’s 2025 comparative data confirms that The Chase is the third best state school in Worcestershire at Key Stage 4 GCSE level. This official ranking provides important context to the excellent results our students achieved over the summer, highlighting their hard work and dedication across a wide range of subjects. 

Our students achieved an impressive Attainment 8 score of 51.8, reflecting performance across up to eight qualifications, including English, mathematics, three English Baccalaureate subjects (such as sciences, computer science, history, geography and languages), and three other approved qualifications. Only Haybridge Academy and Blessed Edward Oldcorne Catholic College scored higher in the county. 

These results are particularly remarkable given the size of our cohort, demonstrating the consistent dedication, hard work and preparation of our students. This achievement is something we celebrate as a community, recognising the contribution of every member of The Chase family. 

Our success is built on a strong foundation of: 

• Specialist teaching that inspires and challenges students to reach their full potential 
• Outstanding pastoral care that supports the well-being and personal development of every pupil 
• Our consistent approach to learning and student support, ensuring every child receives high-quality teaching and guidance throughout their time at The Chase 
• Positive partnerships with parents and carers, ensuring students are supported at home and at school 
• A balanced approach to learning, combining academic excellence with a rich programme of extra-curricular opportunities 

The result is a vibrant, supportive school environment where students can thrive, achieve brilliant outcomes, and enjoy a fulfilling experience during their time with us. 

Headteacher Mike Fieldhouse said: 

“We are incredibly proud of our students’ achievements and the dedication of our staff and families. At The Chase, we continue to strive for excellence in all that we do, inspiring the next generation to aim high, embrace challenges, and achieve success both in and beyond the classroom.”
