Morgan succeeds Zenna Atkins, who left the watchdog at the end of August last year.
A former teacher, Morgan has also been an adviser to the global board of children’s charity Ark since 2005. She sits on the advisory committee of the Institute of Education, and is chair of the Morgan Inquiry, which aims to encourage 18- to 24-year-olds to volunteer.
