Careers Support and Guidance

Miss Mills is the Careers Leader and Level 6 registered Career Development Professional at Astrea Academy Dearne. She is determined that when our scholars leave Astrea, they do so having made a well informed and realistic decision about their next steps in life. This means starting the process long before reaching Year 11.

During Year 11, every scholar will have at least one personal careers appointment with Miss Mills in school. Additional sessions can also be booked during lunch time.

We appreciate that some parents and carers may wish to be part of these discussion. We invite parents/carers and scholars to book a meeting with Miss Mills on Mondays or Wednesdays between 3pm and 4pm.

To book a meeting, please email:

holly.mills@astreadearne.org

Alternatively, you can ring: 01709 892211 ext 1204
