| For many years the school was a first school in the Merton 3-tier
system, with children moving on, after Year 3, to middle schools
elsewhere in the borough. Since reorganisation of the borough's
schools in 2002 we are now an all-through primary where children
who join our thriving Nursery are able to stay until they move
on to secondary school at the end of Year 6.
Although we are only 5 minutes
walk from busy Morden town centre with its Tube and Bus
Station, the school is set in a quiet
residential area. At the
rear of the school there is a playground, a large playing field, a
nature reserve, which we call
The Wild Area
 , and a
multi-sports court
,
which the children know as "The Multi", and our latest development, the
Outdoor Classroom
.
Beyond these is
a large public park to which we have direct access
through the multi-sports court (by way of a gate that is
normally kept locked). The multi-sports court, the
outdoor classroom and the wild area were converted from
a row of tennis courts that had long ago fallen into disrepair.
