Public benefits
Purpose - Advancing the education of pupils in the school The benefit, for the children of Rosstulla School, that flows from this purpose is supporting the educational progress and attainment of pupils in the school through the provision of resources, events and activities and by building links with the local community. This can be demonstrated by
pupils having access to resources, events, activities and links with the local community which are not available through direct school funding. Charity trustees (Parents and Friends of Rosstulla School committee members) 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. There is no harm or possibility of harm associated with this benefit. Purpose - Improved relationships between home and school. The benefit, for the children of Rosstulla School, that flows from this purpose is having an active Parents and Friends group which is able to fundraise, provide a number of events and activities for pupils at the school and their families, fund additional resources for the school and build links with the local community.

Our organisation is made up of a group of parents and staff of Rosstulla School. As a group we strive to ensure that all parents and staff are actively involved in our activities. We believe that communication is key and we do this by keeping our Facebook and Twitter feeds up to date and utilising the School Newsletter. Every year we organise a
calendar of events, examples of these last year were Cinema Trip, Halloween Ballot, Bingo Night, Supermarket Bag Pack, Spring Fair. We work alongside the school to agree expenditure of funds to purchase educational resources or equipment to benefit the pupils in the School. Examples of these are ipads, cycle helments, additional gym/play equipment. Rosstulla is a school for childern with a moderate learning difficulty and as such has a high proportion of children on the Autistic Spectrum. We are working with the school to fund the regeneration of an unused garden area to create a 'chill out' garden for children to have a quiet place to go.
