Personal tutors
In additional to their vocational tutor, every full-time student is allocated a Progress and Performance Tutor (PPT) as a first point of contact in all matters concerning social, person and academic welfare. Nothing is too trivial to discuss, so please encourage them to talk to their PPTs.
Your young person will be timetabled tutorial sessions, and like everything else on their timetable, attendance is essential. These sessions will cover group activities on key employability themes, as well as one-to-one sessions to see how they are getting on at College.
