The Chase
Malvern, WR14 3NZ · Worcestershire · secondary school
13th of 31 secondary schools in Worcestershire we can score, 45 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Narrow the comparison to the 896 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 5.6/10 among them, against 6.5/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ofsted | 13 | 35% | 0.45 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 51.5 · 68 | 30% | 2.03 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | 0.08 · 56 | 25% | 1.39 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 51.9 · 77 | 10% | 0.77 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Get to know the school
How it's doing. The school is rated Good by Ofsted, inspected in January 2026. In 2024/25, 51.5% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 51.9, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was +0.08 in 2023/24, indicating pupils did better than those nationally who started from the same place. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 5.6 out of 10 among them, against 6.5 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join the Duke of Edinburgh Award, Greenpower Racing Project, and RHS School Gardening Award, participate in Equestrian, enter Poetry Slam, and travel to Iceland for a Geography Expedition.
Getting in. The school has 1407 pupils in a capacity of 1679, leaving 272 spare places. This means the school has real spare room, so a place is likely and classes are smaller than it is built for.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils in reaching the national median for Attainment 8? What specific support is available for students aiming for the Duke of Edinburgh Award? How are class sizes managed to ensure individual attention despite the large number of spare places?
