Welcome to The Chase

I am extremely proud of The Chase Sixth Form.Students and staff work together to achieve consistently excellent results and they do so without sacrificing any of the marvellous extra-curricular, charitable, and other enrichment programmes that continue to make the Sixth Form such an attractive place in which to learn.Each year our students progress to top universities, including Oxford and Cambridge to follow a wide range of exciting courses as well as an ever-increasing number of students pursuing Apprenticeships at both local and national companies.The leadership skills fostered lower down the school bear fruit in the many and varied responsibilities assumed by our Senior Student team. The Head Boy, Head Girl, and Deputies, along with the remainder of the student body, help to maintain our ethos of hard work and caring interdependence.I do hope that you will decide, if it is right for you, to continue your post-16 study at The Chase. Whether you are one of our Year 11 students, or someone currently at another school or college, you will find that The Chase Sixth Form is a stimulating environment. Please remember that you are most welcome at any time to come and ask for advice in the Sixth Form Centre as you make your very important decisions about subject choices.Whatever your abilities, interests or aptitudes, The Chase has a great deal to offer. Among the most successful Sixth Forms in Great Britain, it boasts an outstandingly successful relationship between staff and students.Consistently acknowledged in national league tables for its excellence of attainment in A level and BTEC, the achievements or our students are outstanding.

What I'm doing now I studied Law at the University of Liverpool before I began my Legal Practice Course LLM at University of Law in Birmingham. I'm now a Trainee Solicitor What piece of advice would I give to my 16-year-old self? Never let anyone tell you that you can't do something and always believe in yourself!

What I'm doing now I have worked a wide range of IT based jobs, in multiple countries (Australia, USA) for primarily defence organisations. I currently work as an established Project Controller/Manager. What piece of advice would I give to my 16-year-old self? Believe in yourself. Don't be afraid to ask questions, even if people may laugh or try to shut you down. You are as strong as you believe yourself to be. Don't be afraid to stray from the path of 'normality'. You find the most wonderful experiences are gained from venturing astray.

What I'm doing now I studied Marine Environmental Science at University of Portsmouth, gaining a first-class honours degree. I'm now an Environmental Consultant assessing and mitigating environmental impacts associated with pollution incidents and contaminated land. What piece of advice would I give to my 16-year-old self? There is no right time or right way to do life. I am autistic and struggled a lot with understanding who I was and why I felt so different from my peers at school. Everybody is different and everybody goes at at their own speed, so don't worry if you currently have no clue where you are headed! You will soon find your place in the world and like-minded people to enjoy it with. Focus on what you're passionate about and don't be afraid to step out of your comfort zone!
