# Student Support

### Student Support Team

All staff across the school are in charge of the safety and wellbeing of our students. If you, your child or your family experience any difficulties that may have an impact on the overall wellbeing or academic progress of one of our young people, please get in touch.

### Form Tutor

Your son/daughter’s form tutor is pivotal in supporting them in school. The form tutor meets your child daily and in most instances also delivers the PSHCE curriculum on a weekly basis.

We encourage parents and students to see the form tutor as the first point of contact for any concerns. All the tutors emails are the same starting with their staff initials and then continuing with @knutsfordacademy.org.uk.

More information can be found on our [Staff List page](https://www.knutsfordacademy.org.uk/staff/staff-list).

### **Year Teams**

As you will be aware your son/daughter is in a year group and has a Head of Year who will have an overview of their attendance and academic progress. If you wish to contact your child’s Head of Year then their contact details are listed below.
