Public benefits

Purpose 1: Developing effective relationships between staff and others associated with the 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 Donaghadee Primary School. Charity trustees (PTA committee members) are also parents (or staff) 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: Engaging in activities or providing facilities or equipment, which support the school and advance the education of the pupils. 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.

Charity trustees (PTA committee members) are also parents (or staff) at the school which their children attend and hence gain benefit in the same way as all other beneficiaries.

support at the various events during the year.
