Public benefits

The direct benefit which flows from the advancement of education and promoting the benefit of the pupils include the development of the holistic education of young people, promoting, sustaining and increasing individual and collective knowledge by providing additional and improved resources and facilities. The pupils will be able to learn and grow

as more rounded individuals as they will have the benefit of equipment, facilities and activities to engage in recreational, cultural, social and sporting activities in addition to the traditional academic educational activities. The provision of additional and up to date resources will facilitate teaching to the highest level and provide opportunities for our students to reach their full potential These benefits can be demonstrated through a process of self-evaluation, Pupil and parent feedback and official statistics. This purpose does not lead to harm. The direct beneficiaries of this purpose are the young people who currently attend St. Patricks and St. Josephs and future generations who attend. There will also be a wider public benefit from a group of well-educated young people. A private benefit may be to teaching staff from improved working conditions but these benefits are incidental and necessary to ensure the benefit is provided to our beneficiaries.
