Liverpool Learning Partnership Ltd

Trustees' Report For the year ended 31 March 2025

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 2024 to 31 March 2025.

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 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. The previous CEO has retired and a part-time interim CEO is continuing to drive forward the charity’s work. The Reading Co-ordinator and Communications Manager continued to promote reading for pleasure across the city’s schools and coordinated an online reading festival for all pupils. She has overseen LLP’s online presence, moving away from X/Twitter and developing a range of alternative digital channels.

LLP appointed a new chair for the Liverpool Cultural Education Partnership (LCEP) and have been working with him to relaunch this network of cultural organisations and schools following reduced work due to staff capacity.

Over the past year, significant attention has remained on supporting schools to address the mental health and wellbeing of children and young people. This work has been led by the Strategic Development Lead in collaboration with colleagues from health services and the third sector.

Liverpool Learning Partnership Ltd

Trustees' Report (continued) For the year ended 31 March 2025

Objectives and activities (continued)

As part of our work on transition, LLP has continued to coordinate the online forms for primary to secondary transition. Online events for Y6 pupils focusing on transition have further developed and supported this work.

The CEO and Strategic Development Leads have contributed to a range of strategic boards alongside partners from health, early years, LCC colleagues and SIL Ltd.

Achievements and performance

a. Review of activities

In this financial year, LLP received subscriptions from 124 schools. The Executive Board reviews activities termly and receives a written report from the CEO for all business activities of the charity. In September 2024, we appointed a part-time bid writer, to seek to grow the funding base for the charity.

Work has also been undertaken to broaden the scope of the work across the city region. The website: www.liverpoollearningpartnership.com details many of our ongoing activities, events and 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 £158,524 (2024: £64,964) and unrestricted of £24,049 (2024: £70,347) .

During the year the charity received total income of £378,658 (2024: £266,997) and incurred expenditure of £331,396 (2024: £395,549) , resulting in an overall surplus for the year of £47,262 (2024: deficit £128,552) .

Trustees' Report (continued) For the year ended 31 March 2025

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. The previous CEO has retired with effect from 31st August 2024 and a part-time interim CEO is charged with overseeing the work of the partnership, engaging with strategic partners and leading the strategic direction of the partnership. 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.

Trustees' Report (continued) For the year ended 31 March 2025

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.

Liverpool Learning Partnership Ltd

Notes to the Financial Statements For the year ended 31 March 2025

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 2025

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.
