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. Also demonstrable

through the Annual Chair's report. 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 local community. This is demonstrated through pupils having access to resources, events, activities and links with the local community which would not otherwise be available. Also demonstrable through statistics and increased enrolment at the School. The purposes do not lead to any harm. The benefit is for the children at Academy Primary and Nursery 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. This applies to both purposes.

What your organisation does

Our organisation is made up of parents and teachers at Academy Primary and Nursery School Saintfield. We are an active PTA which organises social fundraising events for families and children of the school, such as Disco's, Story and movie nights, quizzes, Wine tasting nights, bag packs, Cinema night, Christmas fairs etc. In addition to this we

also actively volunteer for the school regularly; such as helping out on sports day, book fairs, leavers day and open days. We organise and volunteer at regular events held each year to assist in raising vital funds for the use of the school.
