All Governors have full voting rights, but are expected to abstain from voting and possibly withdraw from discussion on issues where there may be a conflict of interest.

Governors who are also staff members employed by the school may not be elected as Chair or Vice-Chair of Governors or any committee. Staff members, other than the headteacher may not attend Pay and Personnel, Disciplinary or Pupil Exclusion committees.

Appointed Members attend in a non-voting capacity; they are permitted to contribute to discussions and, like full members, must declare an interest in any agenda items where necessary.
