A team of counsellors is on hand to help any pupils affected by the tragic death of car crash teen Kyle Coen.

That is from Sittingbourne Community College headteacher Neil Golding, after the 14-year-old pupil died following a hit-and-run accident on Monday.

A man and woman have been released on bail after being questioned by police in connection with the accident.

Kyle Coen, from Sittingbourne, was knocked off his bike by a car in Bapchild.

But the youngster's headteacher (pictured below) has said staff will be on hand to offer any help fellow students need to cope with the tragic news.

He said: "The school is open pretty much all the time anyway, so people will be available and if the students need us to be there, we will be there - no question.

"There's a team of counsellors, some religious officers, also some school staff who know the children concerned and who will be available."

He said colleagues would pay special attention to Kyle's year group and friends, and anyone who was with him at the time.

Plans were being made, he added, for the return to school of pupils in September.

Mr Golding said: "Without question we will talk about Kyle and celebrate his life with the students.

"There will be some special assemblies and other means of support as students need it."

The comments come as tributes have been paid to the teenager - described as a "gentle, hard-working lad".

Kyle was riding a silver bicycle near Bapchild Cricket Club towards Faversham when he was hit from behind by the car at about 9pm on Monday.

The driver then sped off in the direction of Teynham.

Kyle was treated by paramedics, but pronounced dead at the scene.

Kent Police officers are keen to speak to anyone who saw a grey Fiat Bravo in the area at the time of the crash.

Witnesses or anyone with information is asked to phone the force's Serious Collision Investigation Unit on 01622 798538.
