Louis Mustin
Student
Chilton Cantelo School
United Kingdom
Louis Mustin is what we call an all-round achiever. A keen
cyclist and violinist – he recently achieved Grade 8 and
plays in the Somerset Youth Orchestra – Louis will soon
start the process of applying for university. He aims to do
a Maths-based degree whilst pursuing another of his great
passions – acting. “There was a point with philosophy and
ethics that I was struggling with essay writing,” says Louis.
“My form tutor really helped me improve and practise to
get the best I could. She’s very creative and challenging.
She plays devil’s advocate, and always has you thinking
about something.”
“I’m not just a pupil, but a pupil with teachers who really
want the best for me.”
