Public benefits
The purpose of the Association is to advance the education of pupils in the school in particular by (i): 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 Sullivan Upper 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. (ii):Advancing the education of pupils in the school.
