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 Straidbilly Primary School. Charity trustees (PTA 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. 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.

Our PTA is made up of a group of elected parents and staff. As a group we aim to include all parents and staff in our operation. We do this by inviting parents and staff to share their skills and help at our events, for example face painting at our Craft Fair or helping serve refreshments at our Christmas Concerts. We encourage local businesses
to participate in our Craft Fair and aim to promote and maintain positive links in the local community. We believe that good communication is the key to our PTA success and we publish information regularly and as appropriate through the school newsletter. Our PTA organise a number of fundraising social events throughout the school year which are open to pupils, parents, family, friends and the wider local community. Our calendar of events includes a Craft Fair, Sponsored Walk, Harvest and Valentine Discos. Other events may be held during the course of the year. The PTA agree expenditure of funds raised with the school principal to ensure the maximum benefit to all our pupils.
