School governors have a legal responsibility to promote high standards of educational achievement. Governing bodies have three key roles: setting strategic direction, ensuring accountability and monitoring and evaluation.  The Education Acts give governors key principles, in regulations and guidance.  Governors are not involved in the day-to-day management of the school.  One Governing Body has oversight of both schools. 

You may find this link useful which explains what being a governor involves.

If you wish to contact the any governor directly, you can do so via the school email office@raglanschools.org (Mark it FAO and the Name of the Governor) or you can leave a letter at the office and it will be forwarded on.
