Public benefits
Purpose 1: Improved relationships between home and St Mary's Primary School. The benefit which flows from this purpose includes funding for additional resources for St Mary's Primary School and links built with the local community. Purpose 2: Advancing the education of pupils in St Mary's Primary School. The benefit which flows from this purpose
includes increased educational progress and attainment of pupils in St Mary's Primary School and links built with the local community. Purpose 1 is demonstrated through having an active PTA that works in partnership with St Mary's Primary 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 Mary'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
Start-up PTA (2025) set up with the intention of supporting the development of our small island school by holding fundraising events, applying for grants, purchasing or supplying relevant equipment and resources for the betterment of the school's pupils, parents and staff. Funds will be used to support additional educational, cultural, scientific,
sporting and SEN opportunities that may not otherwise be available through direct school funding. We also aim to create new opportunities for the children to foster stronger relationships with each other, the local community and with peers in neighbouring schools and clubs.
