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. 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. The purposes do not lead to harm. The benefit is for children at Culcrow 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.

Culcrow PTA is run by a group of volunteer parents and staff to organise social events that develop and strengthen home-school relationships as well as occasionally raising funds to purchase educational resources for the children of Culrow Primary School. The PTA also supports the school by providing hospitality at school events and volunteering
for roles in school as gardening and after school clubs. By holding events within school to which all parents/ caregivers are invited we engender to achieve an enhanced sense of integration within the school community and to encourage parents to become more involved in the education of the children. The children will benefit from the charity because the PTA will provide extra resources within the school which will increase the knowledge and learning of the pupils. For example we have provided laptop computers so that the children will get experience on and a good understanding of computers whilst undertaking work in maths, English etc. The PTA have provided the school with an extensive library and an Accelerated Reading program which has encouraged the children to read and therefore further enhancing their knowledge and skills. By holding regular meetings and discussions with parents and staff to keep updated with the needs and wishes of the members we aim to provide new opportunities for learning that are not always available through the Education board, such as learning a foreign language or craft skills. The children will benefit from the extra activities which the PTA runs by bringing the whole school together for events thus increasing the children’s sense of integration.
