Getting in touch with your PPT
Between college opening hours you can pop into Student Services to speak with your PPT.
To email your PPT just separate their name with a dot and add @easterneducationgroup.ac.uk; for example: firstname.surname@easterneducationgroup.ac.uk
What does my PPT do?
Each student is assigned a PPT who:
- Monitors your attendance and behaviour
- Works with your next of kin and outside agencies
- Delivers the Next Steps programme
- Carries out 1:1 Personal Development Reviews (PDRs) with each student
- Takes a holistic overview within the reporting cycle
- Is your student advocate
- Is your starting point for any extended support needed.
How can my PPT help me?
We can signpost you to additional support if you:
- Suffer with anxiety, depression or panic attacks
- Have housing worries
- Would like to work on your physical or mental health
- Are worried about substance abuse
- Need advice and guidance about your next steps after One

Next Steps Programme
Evolve and Progression Sessions
Evolve & Progression are an important aspect of your timetable during your studies at One. It’s compulsory that you attend your Evolve sessions in Year 12 and your Progression sessions in Year 13, which are delivered by your PPT. During these sessions your PPT will deliver college wide information, help with UCAS, careers and apprenticeships, and cover topics such as internet safety and health and well-being.
Additional Support
During your time with us, you may need additional support and help with your studies. We can help you in areas such as: access arrangements for exams, emotional support or additional learning resources. The easiest way to do this is to talk to your PPT, who will signpost you to the most appropriate person within One. We will also help to support you through the transition process from school to college.
If you need extra help because of a physical, sensory or a specific disability, One offers a range of support services that can help you.
For more information please contact the Senior Personal Progress tutors on 01473 556600.
Student Absence
If you are unwell and not able to make it into college it is vital that you contact the college to inform us that you won’t be in.
You can do this in three ways:
- Call the absence line and leave your name and PPT group and a brief description of the reason for your absence – 01473 556610.
- Email your subject teachers, copying in your PPT to confirm you won’t be in college.
- Or, email: one-student.absence@easterneducationgroup.ac.uk
It is essential that you contact your subject teachers to catch up and complete any missed work.
What else can you expect?
Progress Review Reports for Year 12 Students will be sent out to parents/carers in November and February. If you have any questions regarding a student’s progress, please contact their PPT in the first instance.
