Governance at Two Mile Hill Primary School

Welcome to our school, proudly part of The Leaf Trust. As a Trust, we are a group of schools working together to share resources, expertise, and to improve educational outcomes for every child.

The Trust Board oversees the strategic direction and decision-making, while each Local Governing Body (LGB) operates under a designated scheme of delegation that outlines its specific responsibilities.

LGBs offer a platform for collaboration and ensure strong local input. Together, this robust governance framework upholds transparency, integrity, and collective responsibility—driving the organisation’s growth and success.

At The Leaf Trust, we hold the values of “Belong, Grow, and Succeed” at the heart of everything we do. We deeply value our community. Each of our schools is firmly anchored in its local area, fostering strong relationships and supported through local governance.  Our school governors play a crucial role in championing the educational outcomes for all children, ensuring that the school's vision and values are upheld and actively pursued.

To maintain a strong local voice, each Local Governing Body within the Trust includes elected parent and staff governors, Trust governors, and—if the school is a faith school—foundation governors appointed by the Diocese of Bristol. This structure ensures the whole community is represented. Working together, the Local Governing Body helps create an environment where every child can flourish.

All Governors agree to a Trust Code of Conduct, which ensures they undertake relevant training and operate within the Nolan Principles.  

The administration of the Governing Body is undertaken by the Governance Professional.
