Governors

A warm welcome to Morden Primary from the School Governing Board. The school governors welcome all new parents and carers and thank you for entrusting your child to our care.

Our school ethos is for everyone to work together to make strong and positive partnership between home and school and make Morden Primary a school in which everyone takes pride and enjoys school life.

Full Governor’s meetings are held termly. In addition there are three formal committees which focus on particular areas of school life in more detail. These committees meet termly. 

We have an enthusiastic and committed group of governors and our Co-opted Governors have been loyal to the school for many years. The Governing Board is made up of elected parents/carers, elected staff members and representatives from the local authority and the local community. It’s important that our Governors match the needs of the school and will help continue to both challenge and support Morden to be the great school it is.

COMMITTEE MEMBERSHIPS

The committees meet once a term – prior to the full Governing Body meeting.

The Resources committee will monitor and evaluate the use of an impact of the school’s budget, recruitment and professional development of staff, and premises.

The Teaching and Learning committee will monitor and evaluate pupil achievement and the quality of teaching, ensuring the school provides a high-quality learning experience and delivers a broad and balanced curriculum in keeping with the school’s aims, all pupil needs and legal requirements.

The Children, Families and Community committee will monitor and evaluate the

school’s contribution to pupil well-being, including safeguarding; relevant

Equality objectives; attendance, punctuality and behavior patterns and

trends; engagement with the school and community.

Governors are assigned to committees based on their skill set which also connects with link governor roles as listed above.

A copy of the Full Governing Body and Committee meetings’ minutes are available upon written request to the Chair of Governors – Mrs Lisa Halford.
