AREA 51 EDUCATION LIMITED
Trustees’ (Directors’) Annual Report
for the year ended 31 July 2020
In shaping our objectives and planning our activities, the trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit and have complied with section 4 of the Charities Act 2011.
The trustees consider that the charity exists for the purpose of the local public benefit within the North London Boroughs of Haringey, Hackney, Tower Hamlets, Enfield, Barnet, Waltham Forest, Islington and Camden.
The trustees have considered the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit, including the guidance ‘public benefit: running a charity (PB2)’.
Risk Assessment
In order to comply with the Statement of Recommended Practice for Charity Accounts (FRS 102) a review of the major risks to which the charity is exposed and the systems that have to be established to mitigate those risks has been carried out. The trustees receive regular reports and these are monitored on an ongoing basis at Board Level.
Achievements and Performance
The college has maintained the high standards achieved in its Ofsted report in 2016, undertaking a review of its assessment and recording processes to better reflect the achievements of its students in 2020. The college has developed new partnerships with Richard Cloudesley school to widen the range of opportunities available to its students. Work experience opportunities have been severely impacted over 19/20 due to the impact of the Coronavirus pandemic. Face to face teaching has also been reduced to shield many of our very vulnerable young people. The college has worked hard to develop online learning and remote teaching for its students and has provided additional services such as regular well-being checks for both students and staff.
Future Developments and Strategies
The college has experienced a set-back in its plans to develop the premises secured during 2019/20 due to the unexpectedly high costs of re-developing the site to the required standards and changes in the local development plans which are beyond the college’s control. However, the lease on the college’s current premises has been acquired by the Local Authority, which is expected to provide greater security and further options for alternative premises in the future. Whilst these options are being further explored, the new premises will be sub-let and the college continues to work with the Council and local stakeholders to identify solutions.
The college has plans to develop new provision in partnership with another local provider that will extend the scope of provision to include young people with complex physical disabilities and offer new pathways into work for this cohort. This provision will benefit the college as a whole through the opening up of new employment opportunities for young people with learning disabilities as well as introducing the college to a wider group of stakeholders and beneficiaries. The postponement of the college’s move to new premises has enabled the college to focus on developing its adult provision and the pandemic has provided opportunities to explore the provision of online learning for people with learning difficulties, for whom this traditionally had not been offered.
Financial Review
The Statement of Financial Activities for the year is set out on page 7 of the accounts.
Income from full time courses has decreased marginally compared to the prior year at £880,290 for the year ending 31 July 2020 (2019: £938,246). Owing to its status as an Independent Specialist Provider, the charity received grants from the Education Funding Agency during the year amounting to £1,013,641 (2019: £988,044).
Staff costs are the charity's core costs in meeting its objectives; these have increased from £1,166,612 in the prior year to £1,204,089.
A provision of £30,000 remains in the accounts for dilapidation costs on the current premises as it is the intention to relocate in the near future.
The results show a surplus for the year of £64,076 (2019: £107,770).
Statement of Trustees’ Responsibilities
Company law requires the trustees to prepare accounts for each financial period which, give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company and of the surplus for that period. In preparing those accounts the directors are required to:

AREA 51 EDUCATION LIMITED
Independent Auditors’ Report to the Trustees
for the year ended 31 July 2020
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Area 51 Education Ltd for the year ended 31 July 2020 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, Balance Sheet, Statement of Cash Flows and the related notes and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
In our opinion, the financial statements:
-
give a true and fair view of the state of the company’s affairs as at 31 July 2020 and of its surplus for the year then ended;
-
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice;
-
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charitable company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard and the provisions available for small entities, in the circumstances set out in note 3 to the financial statements and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Conclusions relating to going concern
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the ISAs (UK) require us to report to you where:
-
the trustees’ (who are also directors’ of the charitable company for the purpose of company law) use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is not appropriate; or
-
the trustees’ (who are also directors’ of the charitable company for the purpose of company law) have not disclosed in the financial statements any identified material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt about the company’s ability to continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting for a period of at least twelve months from the date when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Other information
The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditors’ report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.
Opinion on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
-
the information given in the trustees’ report, which includes the directors’ report prepared for the purposes of company law, for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
-
• the directors’ report included in the trustees’ report has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

AREA 51 EDUCATION LIMITED
Independent Auditors’ Report to the Trustees
for the year ended 31 July 2020
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the directors’ report included in the trustees’ report.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
adequate and proper accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
-
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
-
certain disclosures of trustees’ remuneration specified by law are not made; or
-
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit; or
-
the trustees were not entitled to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the small companies regime and take advantage of the small companies’ exemptions in preparing the trustees’ report and from the requirement to prepare a strategic report.
Responsibilities of trustees
As explained more fully in the trustees’ responsibilities statement set out on pages 2-3, the trustees (who are also the directors for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditors’ responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
We have been appointed as auditor under s144 of Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder. Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs (UK), we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
-
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
-
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the charitable company’s internal control.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the trustees.
-
Conclude on the appropriateness of the trustees’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors’ report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors’ report. However, future events or conditions may cause the charitable company to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

1 Principal Accounting Policies
Accounting Convention
accounting and Reporting by Charities in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable to the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), the Companies Act 2006, and the Charities Act 2011. The accounts include the results of the charity’s operations which are described in the Trustees’ Annual Report.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the company. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest pound.
The trustees consider that the charity exists for the purpose of the local public benefit as defined in section 4 of the Charities Act 2011.
Going concern
Having considered the current and anticipated economic impact of Coronavirus on the charity’s activities the Trustees have adopted the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements; the Trustees are satisfied the charity has sufficient reserves and access to the financial support necessary to meet working capital requirements and enable the company to remain in operational existence for the foreseeable future.
Incoming Resources
Total incoming resources as shown in the Statement of Financial Activities when the charity is legally entitled to the income and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy.
Resources Expended
Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis, recognised when a liability is incurred, and classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
Basic Financial Assets
Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction cost and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.
Basic Financial Liabilities
Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans, are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.
Depreciation
Tangible assets are stated at cost less depreciation. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost, less estimated residual value of each asset over its expected useful life, as follows:
Leasehold improvements -straight line over the lease term Plant and machinery -25% on written down value Fixtures and fittings -25% on written down value Motor vehicles -25% on written down value
Impairment of Fixed Assets
At each reporting period end date, the company reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the company estimates the recoverable amount of the cashgenerating unit to which the asset belongs.
10
AREA 51 EDUCATION LIMITED
Notes forming part of the Accounts
for the year ended 31 July 2020
Principal Accounting Policies (continued)
Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.
If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease.
Recognised impairment losses are reversed, if, and only if, the reasons for the impairment loss have ceased to apply. Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset (or cash-generating unit) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised immediately in the profit or loss, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the reversal of the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation increase.
Leases
Rentals payable under operating leases are charged against income on a straight line basis over the lease term.
Government Grants
Government grants are recognised at the fair value of the asset received or receivable when there is reasonable assurance that the grant conditions will be met and the grants will be received.
A grant that specifies performance conditions is recognised in income when the performance conditions are met. Where a grant does not specify performance conditions it is recognised in income when the proceeds are received or receivable. A grant received before the recognition criteria are satisfied is recognised as a liability.
Fund Accounting - Unrestricted Funds
Unrestricted funds are those which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in the furtherance of the general objectives of the charity and which have not been designated for other purposes.
Investment income, gains and losses are allocated to the appropriate fund.
Fund Accounting - Restricted Funds
Restricted funds are to be used for specific purposes as laid down by the donor. Expenditure which meets these criteria is allocated to the fund.
Retirement Benefits
Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due.
Employee Benefits
The costs of short-term employee benefits are recognised as a liability and an expense. The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received.
2 Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
In the application of the charity’s accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.

2 Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
Key sources of estimation uncertainty
The estimates and assumptions which have significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities are as follows:
Key estimates
Included within other creditors is a provision for dilapidation costs amounting to £30,000 (2019: £30,000). The trustees consider this is a prudent estimate of costs the charity will incur when they are required to vacate the premises. The trustees are not currently aware of when the lease on the premises will be terminated, however communications with the landlord provide reasonable assurance that notice will be served in the next few years.

In common with many other businesses of our size and nature we use our auditors to assist with the preparation of the accounts.
4 Turnover
The turnover and operating surplus for the year was derived from the company’s principal activity and arises solely in the United Kingdom.
