Parent, Teacher and Friends Association Olderfleet Primary School

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 Olderfleet 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.

What your organisation does

Our PTA is run by a group of volunteer parents and staff to organise social events that develop and strengthen home to school relationships. We organise fundraising events throughout the year to allow us to purchase educational resources for our pupils.
