The Meriton provides education and support for young parents. Our main aim is to build up confidence, self-belief and self-esteem in order that all young parents can enjoy their education, achieve their potential, feel able to contribute to society and achieve economic well-being. This is achieved by providing young parents and pregnant young women the opportunity to access a broad curriculum and a variety of activities.

In addition to formal qualifications The Meriton offers personal development programmes including career, life skills, key skills and work experience opportunities. Students are also encouraged to keep a learning journal to record achievements.
