The Trustees, who are also the directors of the charity, present their annual report together with the financial statements of the Charitable Company for the year 1 April 2022 to 31 March 2023.

Liverpool Learning Partnership Ltd (LLP) is a charitable company limited by guarantee and constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. It was incorporated on 3 December 2012 and is governed by its Memorandum and Articles Incorporated 03/12/2012 as amended by special resolutions dated 05/05/2016.

Please refer to page 1 for the registration numbers, address of the registered and principal office and the names of the Trustees and Directors who served during the year.

The Trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the Charity’s aims and objectives and in planning future activities.

Objectives and activities

a. Policies and objectives

1.1.1 for the public benefit to promote and advance the education of pupils within and including the ages of two to twenty five in Liverpool in such ways as the charity trustees think fit, including by:

b. Activities for achieving objectives

The Liverpool Learning Partnership Executive Board received updates to the strategic plan in October 2022. This strategic plan ensures its activities achieve its stated objectives, co-ordinating the provision of services and pupils aged between two and twenty five. The reporting framework is a live document, ensuring the Board can measure progress against objectives set. The plan is overseen by two strategic groups and reported on by the CEO to the Executive Board. Staff members also present to Board on their areas of work in the termly meetings.

c. Main activities undertaken to further the charity's purposes for the public benefit

Jo Code, Head of St Hilda’s CE High School, has continued chairing the executive board for the last academic year. The Board have had to review various HR protocols and procedures during the year as part of the 10 year review recommendations. The CEO continued in post driving forward the strategic plan. In terms of staffing, the Reading Co-ordinator continued in post, supporting reading for pleasure across the city’s schools and coordinating an online reading festival for all pupils. In addition to this, she has developed the role of communications manager, supporting the online presence of LLP. This year, the Reading Coordinator has taken on the oversight of a Family Learning Project funded by the Adult Learning Service and supported by School Improvement Liverpool. The established venture with the Virtual School, has resulted in LLP supporting book bags for the city’s looked after children which has been a great support to children and carers. The work undertaken to support schools in addressing the mental health and wellbeing of children has continued to be a real focus in this last year. The Senior Development Lead has driven this work forward with colleagues from health and the third sector.

Liverpool Learning Partnership Ltd

Trustees' Report (continued) For the year ended 31 March 2023

Objectives and activities (continued)

The work of the Liverpool Cultural Education Partnership (LCEP) has been maintained at a reduced level this year due to staff capacity. As part of our work on transition, LLP has continued to develop online forms for primary to secondary transition. The CEO contributed to a range of strategic boards alongside partners from health, early years, LCC colleagues and School Improvement Liverpool.

LLP’s online presence previously set up during Covid continued to serve the Partnership well and many of our meetings have continued and events such as the reading festival and mental health training are now established through online platforms.

Achievements and performance

a. Review of activities

LLP receives subscriptions from the majority of schools across the city. The Executive Board reviews activities termly and receives a written report from the CEO for all business activities of the charity. The website: www.liverpoollearningpartnership.com details many of our ongoing activities, blogs, resources, etc. The LLP has been successful at drawing down funding from external sources to support specific initiatives:

Financial review

a. Going concern

After making appropriate enquiries, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charitable company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future, being a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.

b. Reserves policy

The unrestricted reserves primarily relate to the one-off contribution from LCC when the charity was initially set up. This balance is reducing year on year and in the long-term there is no intention to retain this level of reserves, as the current level of subscriptions cover the annual outgoings for operational costs. At the end of the financial year, LLP had total restricted reserves of £138,724 (2022: £121,241) and unrestricted of £125,139 (2022: £152,988).

During the year the charity received total income of £420,759 (2022: £340,007) and incurred expenditure of £431,125 (2022: £381,739), resulting in an overall deficit for the year of £10,366 (2022: £41,732).

Structure, governance and management

a. Organisational structure and decision making

Trustees' Report (continued) For the year ended 31 March 2023

Statement of Trustees' responsibilities

The Trustees (who are also the directors of Liverpool Learning Partnership Ltd for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.

Company law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the Trustees have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law), including FRS 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland. Under company law the Trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of the affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period.

In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:

The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the charitable company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006 and Charities Act 2011. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

In preparing these financial statements the trustees have taken advantage of the small companies' exemption provided in section 415a of the Companies Act 2006.

Independent Examiner's Report For the year ended 31 March 2023

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Liverpool Learning Partnership Ltd ('the charitable company')

I report on the accounts of Liverpool Learning Partnership Ltd for the year ended 31 March 2023, which are set out on pages 8 to 20.

This report is made solely to the charitable company's trustees, as a body, in accordance with the regulations made under section 154 of the Charities Act 2011. My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the charitable company's trustees those matters I am required to state to them in an independent examiner's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company and the charitable company's trustees as a body, for my work, for this report, or the opinions I have formed.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

The trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charitable company's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year (under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 and Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006) and that an independent examination is needed. The charitable company's gross income exceeded £250,000 and I am qualified to undertake the examination by being a qualified member of The Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales.

Having satisfied myself that the charitable company is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:

Basis of independent examiner's report

My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a comparison of the accounts with the accounting records kept by the charitable company. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair' view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.

Liverpool Learning Partnership Ltd

Notes to the Financial Statements For the year ended 31 March 2023

1. Accounting policies

1.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) - Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.

Liverpool Learning Partnership Ltd meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy.

1.2 Company status

The charitable company is a private company limited by guarantee, without share capital, incorporated in England and Wales. In the event of the charitable company being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £10 per member. The members of the charitable company are the Trustees and are detailed on page 1 along with the registered and principal office address. The registered number is: 08316534 and the charity number is: 1169044.

1.3 Going concern

After making appropriate enquiries, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charitable company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future, being a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.

1.4 Income

All income is recognised once the charitable company has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.

1.5 Expenditure

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.

Support costs are those costs incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the charitable company and include project management carried out at Headquarters. Governance costs are those incurred in connection with administration of the charitable company and compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements.

Charitable activities and Governance costs are costs incurred on the charitable company educational operations, including support costs and cost relating to the governance of the charitable company apportioned to charitable activities.

Liverpool Learning Partnership Ltd

Notes to the Financial Statements For the year ended 31 March 2023

1. Accounting policies (continued)

1.6 Debtors

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.

1.7 Cash at bank and in hand

Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short-term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.

1.8 Liabilities and provisions

Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the reporting date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably.

Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the charitable company anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide.

Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the provision is based on the present value of those amounts, discounted at the pre-tax discount rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised in the Statement of financial activities as a finance cost.

1.9 Financial instruments

The charitable company only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

1.10 Pensions

The charitable company operates a defined contribution pension scheme and the pension charge represents the amounts payable by the charitable company to the fund in respect of the year.

1.11 Fund accounting

General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charitable company and which have not been designated for other purposes.

Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the charitable company for particular purposes. The costs of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.
