Information about Chase High School - A place for Ambition, Resilience and Kindness

Chase High School is a mixed, mainstream secondary school located in Westcliff-on-Sea, Essex. It educates more than 1,300 pupils aged 11-18 from over 40 countries.  We foster strong links with the local community to create opportunities for our young people to build the strength and depth of character that combines a strong moral purpose with excellent social skills. Our pupils become adults that can go on and make a real difference locally, nationally and globally. ​

We want all pupils to value their personal development as much as they pursue academic excellence. We offer a broad and comprehensive extracurricular programme, including over 60 clubs, development workshops, and local and international trips. In addition, there are extensive opportunities for pupils to engage in community projects and take on leadership roles within the pupil body.

The recent £5 million investment in a state-of-the-art humanities building and flood lit multi-surface area, complement our numerous dedicated performance arts suites and 4G sports facilities. We are hugely ambitious for our children, and we welcome applications from passionate teaching and associate/support staff who want to join the Chase High School community to further our success.​

Our comprehensive, high-quality CPD programme has been recognised by both Ofsted and our staff. We are proud to have been named an Investors in People Finalist for Learning and Development. We actively support staff to upskill, grow professionally, and pursue their career ambitions through a wide range of fully funded development opportunities.
