I'm not an expert so feel free to ignore but if this is for a primary school, personally I would want to put down things that might be transferable, to give yourself the best chance of standing out from the crowd and seeming to have more to offer;

primary schools need a wide range of skills; practical things....so if you like drawing, painting, jewellery making, any craft activity, or can play an instrument....etc etc etc. I would have thought that would be good stuff to put in because they'll be thinking "ooh she could help with displays/music lessons" etc.

TA to me means Territorial Army but after reading your thread I'm thinking this is not what you are applying for grin
