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. Bernrd's Primary school. Charity trustees (PTA 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 which are not available through direct school funding. This purpose does not lead to harm. The benefit is for children at St. Bernard's Primary school. Charity trustees (PTA 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
The PTA organises social and fundraising events for the families and children of the school. For example, we run a Christmas Fair, Summer Fair, Pub quiz night and hav run events such as a "Night at the Races" and a wine tasting night. We provide support at school events, such as the Book Fair, Confirmation and First Holy Communion. In terms of
those funds raised, we consult with the Principal on expenditure of the funds, to ensure greatest benefit for the children at the school. We want to enrich the school community through our activities, by organising a mixture of events that will bring enjoyment for the children, increase the cohesion of the St Bernard's family, and add value for the school in terms of fundraising.
