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. 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. Purpose 1 is demonstrated through having an active PTA that works in partnership with the school and engages parental support. Purpose 2 is demonstrated through pupils having access to resources, events, activities and links with the local community which are not available through direct school funding. No harm arises from either purpose. The benefit is for children at St. Matthew's Primary 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
Friends of St Matthews PS is run by a group of volunteer parents to organise social events that develop and strengthen home - school relationships as well as occasionally raise funds to purchase educational resources for the children at St Matthews PS. We also support the school by providing hospitality at school events and volunteering for roles
in school such as gardening.
