0161 485 7201 enquiries@chhs.org.uk Student Support & SEND Pastoral Support The wellbeing of all our students is paramount to us. We place great emphasis on developing and maintaining positive relationships between students, staff and parents/carers. This shared commitment will facilitate maximum academic progress, excellent behaviour, respect for learning and involvement in a wide range of challenging, stimulating and worthwhile activities. All students are placed in mixed ability tutor groups under the watchful eye and guidance of their form tutor. The form tutor is the key member of staff for the students in their care and will usually be the first point of contact for parents/carers and other members of staff. At Cheadle Hulme High School it is usual for form tutors to be assigned to their tutor groups for five years. In doing so they become fully aware of the students’ individual needs, personalities, strengths and possible areas for support. Parents/carers will also know that they are speaking to an informed member of staff who has already built up a bond of trust with their child. Form tutors are ably supported and led by a Head of Year. All our Heads of Year are non-teaching members of staff who are in the fortunate position of devoting 100% of their time to the care and welfare of our students. Year councils and a full school council play important roles in planning for the future. These councils have been fully consulted on a number of issues, such as rewards, uniform and sanctions. Members of these councils are often used to show visitors and applicants around school and are involved in the selection procedure when new staff are appointed.
