Governor Responsibilities
The Governors have the responsibility to promote high quality teaching and learning in order to raise standards of education and welfare of all pupils. Governors have the responsibility for the strategic vision and direction of the school and to support the Headteacher and staff in working towards that vision.
The Governors have many roles within the school covering different aspects of school life. They are involved in developing policies, overseeing finances and have responsibility for safeguarding as well as ensuring high standards in teaching and learning.
The Governors are all volunteers and are from all areas of the local community. For example parents, local business people, local councillors and staff.
Governors bring a wide range of skills and interest to the school attending courses in their own time run by the City and County of Swansea.
Even though you might not see them present in the school each day, they are very aware and involved in the school.
The Governors meet each term to discuss relevant issues within the school.
The various committee groups also meet regularly to discuss issues like finance, attendance, health and safety issues and progress towards targets.
A small group of Governors meet with Estyn Inspectors during school inspections.
The Governors produce an Annual Report for the parents.

Meeting the pastoral needs of our pupils is crucial if they are going to access education. When pupils join Morriston Comprehensive all pupils are assigned Progress Leader (Head of Year) who oversees the academic and social aspects of school life and a Form Tutor who supports the pupils’ first thing in the morning.
Our vision is that all pupils at Morriston Comprehensive School are happy, healthy, confident learners who feel safe and secure in school. Our Wellbeing team is dedicated to supporting our pupils from Year 7 to Year 13 in order for individual students to fulfil their potential.
Six Wellbeing Officers provide a point of contact for pupils and their families and will liaise closely with Progress Leaders and other professionals, where necessary. There is a strong team approach with both the Progress Leader and Wellbeing Officer working collectively to balance academic and pastoral needs.
