Careers Guidance

At Brook Mead Academy we consider quality Careers Guidance to be an essential part of academy life for our pupils. Quality Careers Guidance can act as a motivator in each pupils drive for success at Brook Mead.

We intend to appoint an expert Careers Leader in the next couple of years as the academy grows. In the meantime, please do direct any queries with regards our Careers Guidance to Hemaxi Morar, in the first instance.
