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 John the Baptist 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. 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 John the Baptist 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.

The Friends of St John The Baptist Primary School (FSJB) is run by parents of the school. Its main aim is to fundraise for the school by organising a series of fun events for children and parents. Fundraising is increasingly important as the school’s budget has been significantly decreased over recent years. The FSJB fundraises through a series of
events in the school calendar. Without everyone doing a little bit the FSJB wouldn’t be able to put on these events and raise so much extra money for the benefit of all our children. Every parent in the school is automatically part of the FSJB and can get in touch if they would like to help in any way. Volunteers bring with them a range of skills and experience that can enhance the learning opportunities of pupils and bring new ideas and fundraising suggestions to further increase the school funds. Our volunteers can include: members of the governing body, parents/relatives of pupils and teaching staff. Any items bought for any FSJB event by a volunteer, that have been agreed in advance with a FSJB committee member, will be reimbursed by the FSJB committee once a receipt/proof of purchase has been received. Volunteers are covered by the Parentkind membership Insurance Policy.
