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 the 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 the 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
The primary focus of the PTFA was to establish a group of people who would be willing to support the school. initially we engaged with current parent to advise them that this body was available and to encourage them to take an active role. This was done through open nights, teacher parent days and enrolement days. We also introduced a number of
events using the school as the focus inviting parent and the local community to social events. In recognition of the funding difficulties faced within the school we have organised a series of events which we intent to make as regular annual activities. The intention is to extend our activities by bringing local businesses and academic institutions into the school in order to provide careers advice and to inform pupils of employer and academic expectations.
