Public benefits
Purpose 1: Improved relationships between home and school. The benefit which flows from this purpose includes funding for additional resources for the school and links built with the local community. This is demonstrated through having an active PTA that works in partnership with the school and engages parental support. This purpose does not lead
to harm. The benefit is for children at St Colman’s Primary School and All Saints Nursery Unit Annaclone. Charity trustees (PA committee members) are 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: Advancing the education of pupils in the school. The benefit which flows from this purpose includes increased educational progress and attainment of pupils in the school and links built with the local community. This is demonstrated through pupils having access to resources, events, activities and links with the local community that are not available through direct school funding. This purpose does not lead to harm. The benefit is for children at St Colman’s Primary School and All Saints Nursery Unit Annaclone. Charity trustees (PA committee members) are 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.
... [more] [less]What your organisation does
Our organisation is made up of a group of elected parents. As a group we strive to ensure that all parents are actively involved in our operation. We do this by seeking regular feedback on events and operation, looking for parental skills to help with events. We believe that good communication is key and that is why we meet regularly and engage in
social activities. We also work closely with our extended community and our next joint activity together will be the annual school sports day where parents, grandparents and community come together to share in the fun! Every year we organise a calendar of fundraising activities and these include family and children only events examples of these last year were the school discos, kids fun run and parents participation in the Belfast Marathon. Alongside the school we agree the expenditure of funds in that they will always be used to purchase educational resources or equipment for all the pupils in the school.
