Creavery Parent Teacher Association (PTA)

Public benefits

The benefits flowing from the PTA are that it enhances the children's education. This is done by being able to provide resources that the school needs such as reading books which they would not otherwise be able to purchase. The PTA enhances the relationship between school and home by providing opportunities for parents and the teachers to meet

in an informal environment. By planning social activities this gives parents and children the chance to come together and socialise while the children have fun. It also gives the school a chance to show the community what they do at the school. This benefits can be shown in the items purchased for the school. This could be resources for a classroom or a shed for storage or some ICT equipment. There is no harm flowing from any of the purposes. The beneficiaries are the pupils who attend the school as their education is enhanced by the purchasing of resources that help their education. Parents also benefit as they are given the opportunity to get involved in their children's school. There is no private benefit flowing from any of the purposes.
