Message from Steve Wheeldon, Chair of Manchester Schools’ PE Association and Headteacher of Wilbraham Primary School.

‘Welcome to the Manchester Schools’ PE Association Annual Report. 2020-21 has been another testing year with the pandemic impacting on us all and having a profound effect on our young people.

The information presented in this report shows a snapshot of the work undertaken by the association, but more so the power of a collective effort.

As inactivity and sedentary lifestyles threaten our communities’ health & wellbeing, we believe that now, more than ever, we must really work together to ensure that physical activity and sport form a key part of our young people’s recovery, their wellbeing, education and development. I would like to thank our many partners, schools, students, families and funders for their support and commitment.

In particular, I would like to thank Chris, Paul, Doug and Simon, also our dedicated team of Trustees and the host schools: Wright Robinson College, William Hulme’s GS Academy and Our Lady’s RC High School. They have shown unwavering support for staff and the Manchester Schools’ Programme.’

Financial review

The Manchester Schools’ PE Association had an income of £155,573 in the year. In addition, £71,400 in grant funding was secured, £23,800 paid directly (from the Dept. of Health) to each of Our Lady’s, Wright Robinson and William Hulme Grammar School to fund the salaries of the School Games Organisers (this amount does not appear in the annual accounting statement).

The income generated was primarily from membership fees, grant funds, bank interest received and other areas including workforce development and miscellaneous competition entries. Membership fees from schools was the biggest contributor to income totaling £118,895 (net). There were 142 school members.

Main expenditure included:-

£19,985 was spent to provide the Competition Programme through Coaching & Officials, Facility Hire, Equipment, Medals & Trophies.

£88,442 was spent on grants to schools for staff loaned. This included additional funds to top up grants to the schools hosting School Games Organisers; Doug Martin, Competition Manager; Simon Jones, School Sport Coordinator; with Martin Wright retained as a consultant organising all of the primary and secondary leagues.

The net outturn for the year was a surplus of £11,313. This left an unrestricted general fund surplus of £11,313. Simon Jones’s role (our newest team member) as School Sport Coordinator, appointed to develop the competition programme and expand participation across our school population, resulted in a higher budget for ‘grants to schools for staff loaned’ as anticipated in the business plan. The total surplus came in at a higher figure than was predicted at the start of the year as a result of the reduced competition programme, the result of Covid restrictions.

The unrestricted funds to be carried forward to 2021 are £119,014 of which £101,412 is a designated unrestricted fund (See note 2).

Reserves policy

Obtaining charitable status has assisted the Board of Trustees in the development of business planning options and revenue development to minimise the impact from the 2020-21 financial year and ensure future sustainability of the association as the Department of Health funding was due to cease in March 2021. On the 19 March 2020 Sport England announced that funding has been extended to March 2021 and then subsequently October 2021.

The association developed a reserves policy to achieve a designated unrestricted reserve fund equivalent to 12 months operational costs by August 2020, this being the end date for the current SGO grant funds (NB superseded, now October 2021). In August 2020 the association had £101,412 in the deposit account with operating costs in 2020 of £139,012. (This does not include the subsidy grants paid by the Department of Health directly to the three high schools for the SGOs of £71,400 in 2020-21. This grant matches outgoing salary of the same amount, paid by the respective schools). The Trustees do not consider there are sufficient funds in the unrestricted reserves to increase the designated amount to £139,012 hence the designated amount remains at £101,412.

Organisational Structure

The operational function of the association has been managed by the School Games Organisers & Competition Manager who have been responsible for making decisions on all matters of general concern and importance to the association including the programme and deciding on how it’s funds are best used on a day to day basis. The SGOs and Competition Manager met on at least a bi-weekly basis, consulting with member schools at Primary and Special School PE Subject Leader meetings (7 per year), Secondary Heads of PE meetings (3 per year), with Hub School Head teachers (at least 4 times per year) and key individuals as needed.

Independent Examiner’s Report

This report on the attached financial statements, which have been prepared on the accruals basis, set out on pages 1 to 11, of Manchester Schools’ PE Association for the year ended 31 August 2021 is in respect of an examination carried out to the requirements of s145 the Charites Act 2011 (“The Act”).

Respective responsibilities of trustees and the examiner

The association’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements. The association’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year and an independent examination is needed.

It is my responsibility to:

Basis of this report

My examination was carried out in accordance with the general directions given by the Charity Commissioners. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the association and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the accounts.

Independent examiner’s statement

In the course of my examination, no matter has come to my attention which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect, the trustees have not met the requirements to ensure that;
