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.
