Public benefits
The trustees believe that our purposes satisfy both elements of the public benefit requirement Purpose 1: To advance the education of pupils in the school The direct benefits which flow from this purpose are increased educational progress and attainment of pupils within the school and links built with the local community. These benefits are
evidenced by pupils having access to resources, events, activities and links with the local community, which are not available through direct school funding. This purpose doesn’t lead to any harm and the benefit is for children at Ballinderry Primary School and nursery unit. Charity Trustees are usually also parents at the school, which their children attend and hence gain benefit in the same way as all other beneficiaries. This benefit is incidental and necessary to ensure the benefit is provided to all beneficiaries. Purpose 2: To improve relationships between staff, parents & others associated with the school. The direct benefits, which flow from this purpose, include funding for additional resources for the school and links built with the local community. These benefits are evidenced by having an active PTA that works in partnership with the school and engages parental support. This purpose does not give rise to any harm. The beneficiaries of this purpose are children at Ballinderry Primary School and nursery unit. Charity Trustees are usually also parents at the school, which their children attend and hence gain benefit in the same way as all other beneficiaries. This benefit is incidental and necessary to ensure the benefit is provided to all beneficiaries.
