## **Liverpool Learning Partnership Ltd**
## **Trustees' Report For the year ended 31 March 2024**
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 2023 to 31 March 2024.
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 The charity's objectives are:
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:
- (a) providing and assisting in the provision of facilities for education (including cultural and business education) in each school;
- (b) providing their education to prepare for entry to any occupation, trade or profession on leaving any education establishment;
- (c) developing inclusive learning and ensuring all pupils are given an opportunity to achieve life-long learning and;
- 1.1.2 to assist in such ways as the charity trustees think fit any charity whose aims include advancing education of persons within and including the ages of two to twenty five in Liverpool.
## **b. Activities for achieving objectives**
The Liverpool Learning Partnership Executive Board received termly updates on the strategic activities of the Partnership. This ensures LLP’s activities achieve its stated objectives, co-ordinating the provision of services and pupils aged between two and twenty five. In addition to the executive board, the work 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. There have been no staffing changes during the year. The CEO continued in post driving forward the charity’s work. The Reading Co-ordinator and communications manager continued supporting reading for pleasure across the city’s schools and coordinating an online reading festival for all pupils. She has significantly developed the role of communications manager, supporting the online presence of LLP. Her work with early years settings has broadened across the city region, supported by the Merseyside Violence Reduction Partnership. 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 2024**
## **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. In recent meetings, the decision has been taken to appoint a part time bid writer, to seek to grow the funding base for the charity. Work has been undertaken to broaden the scope of the work across the city region. 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:
- Mental Health: NHS funding, through Liverpool Integrated Care Board for the Senior Development Lead
- post for the Trailblazer as part of the Green Paper.
- Reading: funding from charitable trusts to support projects and the reading festival.
- Merseyside Violence Reduction Partnership supporting work with Read to Bump and Toddlers.
- Virtual School support for reading bags for looked after children.
## **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 £64,964 (2023: £138,724) and unrestricted of £70,347 (2023: £125,139).
During the year the charity received total income of £266,997 (2023: £420,759) and incurred expenditure of £395,549 (2023: £431,125), resulting in an overall deficit for the year of £128,552 (2023: £10,366).

## **Structure, governance and management**
## **a. Organisational structure and decision making**
The charity trustees (6) who represent all forms of provision for learners in the city, are responsible for the overall management and control of Liverpool Learning Partnership Ltd and meet termly to oversee the operations of the charity. There is a fulltime CEO who is charged with the day to day running of the charitable company and reports directly to the Trustees. The CEO reports to the Trustees on the Executive Board and convenes two strategic groups (All Learners and Learners Who Need More) to drive forward the two year strategic plan. Operational decisions are taken by the CEO with strategic oversight by the Executive Board/Trustees. We are reviewing the composition of the Board to ensure it remains relevant and this will inform future recruitment of trustees.

## **Liverpool Learning Partnership Ltd**
**Trustees' Report (continued) For the year ended 31 March 2024**
## **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:
- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP (FRS102);
- make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
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 2024**
## **Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Liverpool Learning Partnership Ltd ('the Charitable Company')**
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of Liverpool Learning Partnership Ltd ('the Charitable Company') for the year ended 31 March 2024.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the charity trustees of Liverpool Learning Partnership Ltd (who are also the directors of the Charitable Company for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Charitable Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006 and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity’s accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the 2011 Act’). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.
## **Independent examiner's statement**
Since the Company’s gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of ICAEW, which is one of the listed bodies.
I have completed my examination. I confirm that, no matter has come to my attention in connection with the examination which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect:
- accounting records were not kept in respect of the Charitable Company as required by section 386 of the Companies Act 2006; or
- the accounts do not accord with these records; or
- the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair view’ which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination: or
- the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities 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).
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

## **Liverpool Learning Partnership Ltd**
**Notes to the Financial Statements For the year ended 31 March 2024**
## **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 2024**
## **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.
