'Leading Edge' Learning at Chase Terrace

At Chase Terrace Technology College, the students benefit from contemporary purpose-built accommodation that provides an exciting and aspirational context for learning. The £8.5 million new build completed in 2004 has now been supplemented by a brand new sports centre, which opened in September 2009. The construction of a £2.5 million Vocational Skills Centre for the Lichfield and Burntwood District on the Chase Terrace site is another exciting development. Chase Terrace is officially a Leading Edge Partnership School, reflecting its distinctive strengths in technology and the arts.

Headteacher, Dr. Stuart Jones, highlights the importance of the quality of relationships across the school and the strong focus on pastoral care and respectful behaviour.

'Expectations are very clear at Chase Terrace and this creates a well-ordered, respectful learning environment. We pride ourselves on the strength of our care, guidance and support for our students.'

Chase Terrace offers a very broad curriculum, allowing students to develop their talents in all sorts of ways. The very substantial increase in the number of students in the sixth form reflects the degree to which the sixth form provision at Chase Terrace is meeting students' needs. Numbers have almost doubled over the past three years! The sixth form area has been remodelled and refurbished to cater for the increased demand.

The school has a strong profile of examination results, with a recent  significant increase in the number of students gaining the top grades. Accelerated programmes are in place for its most gifted students, with some now starting A level study early.

The number of pupils in Chase Terrace's catchment area is declining significantly and will continue to fall over the next 10 years. There are, therefore, more spaces for students who do not live within the catchment area. The school now provides its own subsidised transport for those students who would otherwise find it difficult to travel to and from Chase Terrace. Students can also work in the newly equipped and refurbished Learning Resource Centre before school starts (from 8am) and at the end of the school day (until 5pm).

There were 30 students who achieved 5 or more GCSEs at grade A* / A - a record number for the school).

Stephen Sutton (one of the exceptional performers listed above) has overcome the most testing of challenges to gain these results. Twelve months ago, Stephen was diagnosed with bowel cancer and emergency surgery was undertaken. He then underwent a full course of chemotherapy, which took three days out of each fortnight, and was given medical advice not to take his GCSEs at the end of the year. Dr Jones commented that: 'Steven's resilience and determination were absolutely incredible. He simply would not allow the treatment to undermine his ability to gain the grades that he wanted.' Thankfully, Stephen was placed in full remission a few months ago and is now starting his sixth form studies at Chase Terrace.
