Public benefits

IMPROVING RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN HOME AND SCHOOL 1. Ours is an active PTA which is able to fundraise, provide a number of events and activities for pupils at the school, and their families, fund additional resources for the school and build links with the community. 2. Our active PTA works in partnership with the school to engage parental

support. 3. The benefits our PTA brings far outweigh any harm (there is no harm). 4. The benefit is for children at Edenderry Primary School. 5. Our 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. ADVANCING THE EDUCATION OF PUPILS IN THE SCHOOL 1. We support the educational progress and attainment of pupils in the school through the provision of resources, events and activities, and by building links with the local community. 2. Our pupils have access to resources, events, activities and links with the local community, which are not available through direct school funding. 3. Our purpose does not lead to harm. 4.
