Public benefits
Purpose 1: The benefit which flows from this purpose includes funding for additional resources for the school and links built with the local community. Purpose 2: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. There is an active PTA
who work in partnership with the school and who engage parental support. Pupils have access to events, resources, activities which are not available through direct school funding. Pupils are able to forge, develop and sustain additional links with the local and wider community. No The pupils of St Mary's PS Derrymore are the beneficiaries. 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. There are no private benefits flowing from the purposes.The benefits are incidental and necessary to ensure the benefit is provided to all beneficiaries.
What your organisation does
Our PTA is made up of a group of elected parents and staff. All parents and staff are invited to share their skills and help at our events. We run a programme of events throughout the school year, which are available to pupils, their family and friends and the wider community. We vary our fundraisers from year to year and in the past we have held
events such as a DVD night, a quiz, Christmas Lights events, raffles, Christmas Card Making. All our events raise funds but are also open to all visitors, regardless of gifts given. We design competitions for the children throughout the year and we provide refreshments at various events throughout the year. In close consultation with the Principal and teachers, we agree to fund a range of items and services that directly benefit the school and the children. In recent years we have bought outdoor play equipment, new chairs and Maths books. Overall, we are a fundraising organisation, but an important part of our role is promoting social inclusion, community relations and providing a less formal communication channel between the parent body and the school.
