House System
Merton College London is organised around 5 houses, namely Venus, Luppiter, Mercurius, Mars, Saturnus. Every academic staff member and student belong to a house. A house is led by the Head of House, who is responsible for the overall wellbeing of all students in the house.
Every student is informed of their house name upon registration, and they will belong to the same house during the whole duration of their time at Merton College London. This enforces their identity as a house member and they receive academic support and pastoral care from their tutors and Head of House.
During term time, students gain and collect house points by participating in inter-house competitions. The house that achieves the most house points at the end of an academic year receive a prestigious award from the school management team.

I have been so, so obsessed with Merton biology courses that I immediately told my Mum 'that's exactly what I need', after the first trial session. I have been inspired by new ideas, knowledge and better ways of learning day by day. Such tutor is rare to find- It's all worth it!

We live in the Netherlands and know little about the UK's education system, that's the reason why we hope to find a reliable local school and be well-prepared. The Physics teacher from Merton College surprised us a lot... my girl got the first place in her recent exam! So glad to see her being more and more confident with her studies.

I derive great pleasure from my weekly learning sessions with my tutor in Merton. My tutor boosts my confidence by providing constructive feedback, pinpointing my mistakes, and guiding me on how to improve. This is an experience I could never get from my 30 people classroom.

Jason secured an A in A-Level chemistry! We are so delighted, especially considering he was initially projected to receive an E back in the beginning of this semester. Our heartfelt thanks for Merton's assistance and support.

I have a deep appreciation for Merton! It's an excellent school offering a diverse selection of tutors. Whenever I've had inquiries, their responsiveness has always been outstanding and swift. I like my tutors, they are very knowledgeable and responsible, I receive annotated lesson notes after each lesson, it has been incredibly beneficial. My grades improved from a 4 to an 8 in just one term! Online lesson is particularly valuable for me since I was grappling with anxiety in new face-to-face situations. A big thank you to Merton!

Exceptional support for A-Level Maths, Physics, and Biology! I collaborated with three different tutors, each of whom was equally outstanding. Thanks to their guidance, I achieved the grades necessary for university. Many thanks to Merton！
