Best Student Carshalton College: Chantelle Allen (picture far right)
Chantelle is an amazing student to teach. She deserves special recognition for her positive attitudes towards learning and supporting others.
Chantelle’s secondary education has been affected by COVID. She left the country for a family matter and when she returned in 2022 she missed her opportunity to sit GCSE exams. In 2023 she joined Carshalton College, taking her GCSE exams. She then had heart surgery which has had a massive impact on her attendance and learning. This year, despite enrolling late, she is striving to achieve Grade 5 in GCSE maths through hard work and determination.
Although Chantelle has is a quiet person, she is very confident in helping others during maths lessons and sets a positive example for her peers which is a pure evidence of her work ethic and perseverance. She is destined to have a successful future and we wish her all the very best.
