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 Whitehead Primary School. Charity trustees 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 Whitehead Primary School. Charity trustees 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.
What your organisation does
Whitehead Primary School PTA organises events to both raise funds for the school as well as to create a sociable atmosphere and provide an opportunity for the children to enrich their days at the school. The school discos for example, are well attended in the evening and at Halloween the children dress up in costumes. PTA provide music and lights
as well as snacks at an affordable price. We also take part in the Whitehead Community Association Victorian Street Fair in November each year and we organise, decorate and run the Santa's Grotto in the Community Center. Other events include ballots, quiz nights and an annual Games Night (like a Summer Fair) that attracts most of the pupils to the school in the evening for bouncy castles, visits from wildlife farms, fire service and police, as well as the popular candy floss man and BBQ - provided and run by the local butchers McMasters.
