Chantelle was a year 11 student at the school when she took her own life a year ago.  A bench which now has pride of place in the quiet garden has been donated  by friends at the Medway Christian Fellowship.  Chantelle’s mother, Ms Jane Hector and two ministers from the church, friends, former pupils and staff from the school came together to remember Chantelle and to officially dedicate the bench in Chantelle’s memory.

Following the dedication, tea and cakes were served in the Inclusion Room at Hinchingbrooke School where Chantelle spent a lot of her time when she was at school.
