The Chase School, also referred to as The Chase Technology College and The Chase High School, is a secondary school (ages 11–18) in Malvern, Worcestershire, England. The school opened as a Secondary Modern in 1953 under headteacher Mr Garth. It was officially opened by Lord Cobham on 26 March 1955. The Chase became a comprehensive with the abolition of selective education in Worcestershire in 1974 and became an academy on 1 November 2011. Teaching students from Year 7 to Year 13, The Chase has around 1,500 students, making it one of the larger schools in Worcestershire, with just over 300 students in the sixth form. Recent results, notably the headline measure of 5+ A*-C GCSEs (or equivalent) including English and maths, are significantly above the national average at 72% in 2015 and 74% in 2014.
The school is located in Barnards Green, a suburb of Malvern, adjacent to the sites of QinetiQ and the Malvern Hills Science Park. Links between the school and these organisations has led to the establishment of the Cyber-security Apprentice Development Scheme, an apprenticeship initiative aimed to encourage more students into the cyber security sector.
