## **Trustees' Report, incorporating the Director's Report for the year ended 31 March 2022**
The Trustees of the The English & Media Centre present their report together with the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2022.
## **Principal activity**
The principal activities of the charity in the year under review were those of the provision of in-service training in language, literature, and media to Secondary English teachers and the publication of classroom teaching materials.
## **Trustees**
The Trustees of the charity who held office during the year are disclosed on page 3.
## **Structure, governance and management**
## **Governing document**
The English & Media Centre is a company limited by guarantee, incorporated on 2 February 1990. The company was established under a Memorandum of Association which established the objects and powers of the company and is governed under its Articles of Association. In the event of the company being wound up members are required to contribute an amount not exceeding £1 each.
## **Risk mitigation**
The board has examined the principal areas of the charity's operations and considered the major risks which may arise in each of these areas. In the opinion of the trustees the charity has established resources and review systems which, under normal conditions, should allow the risks identified by them to be mitigated to an acceptable level in its day to day operations.
## **The scope and nature of the work of the English & Media Centre**
The English and Media Centre is an independent development centre supporting and serving secondary English and Media teachers and the wider English teaching community, through professional development courses, consultancy and classroom resources.
We aim to develop and disseminate best practice and innovative approaches to language, literature and media, in all their forms, including new literacies and technologies. We support teachers in helping their students to become confident, articulate, critical and creative readers and writers. Our work draws on our close connections with teachers, making them colleagues, not just customers.
Our approach combines creativity with rigour and we value our reputation for expertise and quality. We aim both to answer the practical needs of teachers and offer expert, informed advice.
As a not-for-profit voluntary sector organisation we are unique in being able to bring together publishing, CPD, projects and consultancy and to stand up for the very best in English and Media teaching.
## **The profile of the Centre in the school system**
We continue to have a high profile among secondary English and Media teachers in the UK, with an increasing presence in debates and consultations at tertiary level. Our professional development courses are attended by over 2,000 teachers a year, while our publications reach English and Media departments in over 4,000 schools and FE colleges. Additionally, we act as consultants for department and school-focused work. We also run the subject-specialism part of a Media PGCE course for Goldsmiths College, London University, and an English PGCE for London Metropolitan University.
Teachers and students in the post-16 sector are supported by our magazines, websites and conferences. We continue to offer a lead in this area, which receives less funding and direct intervention from LA and DFE agencies than other secondary age groups.
Given the multiple readerships for each of our publications, it is reasonable to estimate that EMC publications are read and used by several hundred thousand students each year.
EMC acts as a hub for other organisations working in the field of English and Media Studies, and in related fields with links to literacy, language learning, literature, media and the arts. We continue to be invited to contribute to national discussions by various subject associations, exam boards, publishers, arts agencies and HE institutions.

## **Trustees' Report, incorporating the Director's Report for the year ended 31 March 2022**
## **Review for the year**
## **Overview**
2021/22 was a successful year for EMC, particularly in light of the ongoing disruption to daily life brought about by the Covid-19 pandemic. Staff largely remained working from home, yet activity increased in almost all areas of our work. New work practices continued to bring new opportunities, most significantly running online courses that once more attracted teachers from around the world. As we move into a period when it is possible to return to previous work practices, we hope to develop a hybrid of online and in-person activities.
## **Publications**
The year saw record sales of publications. This was primarily due to the success of our latest short story anthology, _Iridescent Adolescent_ . While this anthology was published in the previous academic year, it saw a significant rise in sales linked to free resources made available online in 2021/22. Other texts designed to be sold in bulk continued to sell well.
We did not publish any new print publications during the year, though did publish three new online publications:
- _EMC Studying a Novel: The Bone Sparrow_
- _EMC Curriculum as Conversation: Going on an Odyssey_
- _EMC Curriculum as Conversation: Poems that Inspire_
Three new publications reached the latter stages of publication and will be printed either at the end of the summer term or towards the start of autumn. These are:
## _The Facility and Other Texts: Re-imagining Antigone_
A drama script, two short stories and four poems loosely based on Sophocles’ Antigone. This was part-funded by a grant from the Classical Association, which allowed us to commission work from four different writers.
## _An Inspector Called and Other Stories – Textual Transformations_
EMC’s Barbara Bleiman has written as series of short stories, each based on a text widely taught in secondary English. The stories transform, respond to and engage with the original texts in a wide variety of ways, all of which we hope will encourage students to experiment with their own transformations, as well as helping them to reflect on the original.
## _EMC Poetry Playlist – Contemporary Voices for the Classroom_
Approximately 150 contemporary poems for 11-16 year olds in a collection designed to excite students’ interest in reading, writing and talking about poems – both in the classroom and beyond. As well as poems selected by EMC, the anthology includes a selection of ‘poets’ playlists’ submitted by poets such as Jacob Sam-La Rose, Hollie McNish, Peter Kahn, Daljit Nagra and Moniza Alvi.
Each of these publications will be accompanied by free downloadable resources.
We have also begun work on an anthology of nature writing in collaboration with Bloom Education, a small charity working to promote the benefits of bringing nature to young people.
## **Courses**
We ran our course programme entirely online for the financial year. We raised prices to make such a model sustainable, having offered courses at very low prices during full lockdown, primarily to support teachers in such a difficult period.
While fewer teachers attended courses than in the previous year, the numbers were still much higher than we could have accommodated using our former model of only holding courses at our Islington centre. The increase in prices meant that our income stream was sustained in this area, though it was lower than when we ran in-person courses priced at a higher rate.
The plan for 2022/23 is to reintroduce in-person courses, though with smaller numbers per day than previously (about 15 rather than 24); initial signs are that people are prepared to attend in-person in sufficient numbers to make this viable.
## **Conferences**
We took the decision once again to run in-person conferences for A Level students at Friends House, Euston, at a point when movement was possible but some Covid-19 restrictions were still in place. This proved to be a good decision, with teachers welcoming the opportunity to extend their students’ experience beyond the classroom. We deliberately limited numbers to provide some space for social distancing and were able to recruit to our new limited capacity for two AL Language conferences and one AL Literature Poems of the Decade conference.

## **Trustees' Report, incorporating the Director's Report for the year ended 31 March 2022**
## **PGCEs**
The Media PGCE continued to recruit to our target of 15 students and ran successfully. English recruitment was down from the previous year and recruitment for 2022/23 became even more difficult, a picture mirrored nationally. Should this continue, then it is likely that the English course will close at the end of the 2022/23 academic year.
## **Partnerships**
While restricted by lockdown, we continued to work and collaborate with a number of like-minded organisations and individuals, including: NATE, MEA, CLPE, Guardian Education, Forward Arts Foundation, First Story, Teach First, OCR, the Classical Association, University English, Common English Forum and various university PGCE departments.
Towards the end of the year we began discussions with CLPE about the possibility of moving into their premises in September 2023 and move out of our current Islington base. Their premises are much more suited to running CPD and a move will enable us to share expertise with a like-minded organisation as well as save considerably on premises costs. An agreement has now been reached and the move will take place.
## **Staffing**
We took the decision to create a Research and Projects team and so expand our consultancy team. Lucy Hinchliffe was appointed Lead Consultant for Research and Projects. Two teachers were seconded on two-day per week contracts for one year in the first instance, with the possibility of extending to two years: Anmika Salter and Katie Kibbler. The extra staffing costs will lead to overspends in these two years; the decision takes this into account and recognises it as a sensible way to run down some of the charity’s reserves.
## **Trustees**
This was a busy year for trustees. We said farewell to David Sheppard and Lizzie Crump and recruited Mehrunissa Shah, Vinay Gupta, Myfanwy Marshall, Simon Johnson and Lisa Socrates. This means we have a wider range of expertise in the team, including two media specialists.
## **Financial Review**
The results of the period and financial position of the charity are shown in the annexed financial statements.
The Statement of Financial Activities shows an increase in funds for the year of £127,740 and reserves of £1,788,812.
## **Tangible fixed assets for use by the charity**
Fixed assets are set out in Note 8 to the accounts.
## **Independent Auditors**
The statutory auditor, A D Armstrong FCA of Armstrong & Co, has indicated his willingness to be proposed for re-appointment in accordance with Section 485 of the Companies Act 2006.
Although not required, the trustees have determined that the charitable company be audited under the Companies Act 2006 for the year ended 31st March 2022 and for future years. The charity is not required to be audited under charities legislation for the year ended 31st March 2022.
This report has been prepared in accordance with the special provisions of Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006 relating to small companies.
The trustees acknowledge and confirm their responsibilities for preparing the financial statements and providing appropriate information to the auditors as detailed in the Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities set out on page 7.
These financial statements were approved by the Trustees on 7 November 2022 and signed on their behalf by:

## **Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities for the year ended 31 March 2022**
## **Statement of trustees' responsibilities**
The trustees (who are the directors of the charity for the purpose of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of its 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:
- a) Select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;
- b) Observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
- c) Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- d) Follow applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the accounts;
- e) Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to assume that the charity will continue in operation.
The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006 and charity legislation. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
## **Statement as to disclosure of information to auditors**
So far as the trustees are aware, there is no relevant audit information of which the charitable company's auditor is unaware, and the trustees have taken all steps that they ought to have taken to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the auditor is aware of that information.

## **Independent Auditors' Report to the Members of The English & Media Centre**
We have audited the financial statements of The English & Media Centre for the year ended 31 March 2022 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, Statement of Financial Position, Statement of Cash Flows and the Notes to the Accounts 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 charitable company’s affairs as at 31 March 2022 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for the year then ended;
- have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice applicable to Smaller Entities; and
- 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 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 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**
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charity's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
## **Other information**
The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information in the Report of the Directors, but does not include the financial statements and our Report of the Auditors thereon.
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and 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, 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 matter 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 Report of the Directors for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
- the Report of the Directors has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

## AT **The English & Media Centre**
## **Independent Auditors' Report to the Members of The English & Media Centre**
## **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 Report of the Directors.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
- adequate 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 directors were not entitled to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the small companies regime and take advantage of the small companies' exemption from the requirement to prepare a Strategic Report or in preparing the Report of the Directors.
## **Responsibilities of directors**
As explained more fully in the Statement of Directors' Responsibilities set out on page 8, the directors 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 directors determine 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 directors 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 directors either intend to liquidate the company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
## **Our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements**
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 a Report of the Auditors 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.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
- We identified the legal and regulatory frameworks that are applicable to the entity and determined that the most significant are those that relate to the specific business environment in which they operate, the reporting requirements they are obliged to adhere to and other legal and regulatory requirements applicable to operating entities in general.
- These include the Companies Act 2006, the Charities Act 2011, FRS 102, the Charities SORP, GDPR and COVID-19 support schemes legislation. The charitable company operates locally and is not significantly impacted by international law or regulations.
Taxation law and regulations applicable to charities also apply to the charitable company but it is not involved in any complex matters that increase the risk of non-compliance.
Each area of audit review includes in the audit documentation reference to potential non-compliance and awareness of potential non-compliance is embedded in our audit procedures.
- We assessed the risks of material misstatement in respect of fraud by enquiry of management, review of the charity's operations and direct review of significant and material transactions, including all non-standard or irregular journal adjustments. Our understanding of the organisation enables us to understand and identify transactions or areas that appear to present a risk of fraud. None were detected.
Our pre-audit questionnaire specifically makes enquires about fraud and this is supported by audit documentation. We also review Board minutes to identify any matters of concern or risk. None was identified.
- The audit was conducted by a very experienced auditor who has a good knowledge of the client and no other assistance or support was required.
- The charity is small, its activities are regular and consistent and are not complex and no special audit considerations apply, nor is external specialist assistance required.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at _**www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities**_ . This description forms part of our Report of the Auditors.

## **Accounting policies**
## **Basis of preparation**
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with:
- a) Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)".
- b) 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 2015) - (Charities SORP FRS 102);
- c) The Charities Act 2011.
- d) The Companies Act 2006.
## **Public benefit entity**
The charity meets the defination of a public benefit entity under FRS 102.
## **Going concern**
The charity's income is mainly derived from self-generated sources such as sales of teaching materials and training courses. The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the demand for, and the charity's ability to continue to provide, these services, and accordingly, the accounts have been prepared on a going concern basis.
## **Income recognition**
Voluntary income and donations (including legacies) are accounted for once the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be reliably measured. Income from the recovery of tax on gift aided donations is accounted for once the tax reclaim has been applied for. Grant income is recognised on a receivable basis.
The income from trading activities includes rental income from the letting of premises temporarily surplus to requirement, and is accounted for when earned. It is shown gross, with the associated costs included in fundraising costs.
Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the bank. Income from property held for its rental returns is included in Investments when due.
## **Deferred income**
Income received which is contractually or otherwise not expendable until a future period is deferred to the period in which it meets the criteria for income recognition.
## **Expenditure recognition**
Expenditure is accrued as soon as a liability is considered probable, and the amount of obligation can be measured reliably. The charity is not registered for VAT and accordingly expenditure includes VAT where appropriate.
Expenditure included in Raising Funds includes amounts incurred in obtaining grants and other donations and property maintenance costs.
Charitable expenditure includes those costs expended in fulfilling the charity’s principal objects, as outlined in the Report of the Trustees. These include grants payable, governance costs and an apportionment of support costs.
- Grants payable are payments made to third parties in furtherance of the charity’s objects. In the case of an unconditional grant offer this is accrued once the recipient has been notified of the grant award. The notification gives the recipient a reasonable expectation that they will receive the grant. Grants awards that are subject to the recipient fulfilling performance conditions are only accrued when the recipient has been notified of the grant and any remaining unfulfilled condition attaching to that grant is outside of the control of the charity.
- Governance costs comprise all costs involving the public accountability of the charity and its compliance with regulation and good practice. These costs include costs related to the independent examination and legal fees.
- Rentals under operating leases are charged as incurred over the term of the lease.
## **Unrestricted Funds**
Unrestricted funds are funds received which have no restrictions placed on their use and are available as general funds.
## **Designated Funds**
Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the trustees for particular purposes.

## **for the year ended 31 March 2022**
## **Tangible Fixed Assets**
Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less depreciation. Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.
Furniture & fittings - 20% on cost Computers & equipment - 33% on cost
Items of equipment are only capitalised where the purchase price exceeds £500.
## **Investments**
Investments are shown in the statement of financial position at closing market value. Surpluses or deficits on valuation are credited or charged to the SOFA.
## **Stocks**
Stock is valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items.
The cost of stock is made up of the direct cost of printing and collating only.
## **Pensions**
Employees of the charity are entitled to join one of the 3 pension schemes mentioned below depending on their employment status. Future contributions to the Teachers Pension Scheme and the London Pension Funds Authority scheme are contingent on the outcome of periodic actuarial reviews undertaken by the schemes.
## a) Teachers Pension Scheme
The Teachers’ Pension Scheme (TPS) is an unfunded multi-employer defined benefits pension scheme governed by the Teachers' Pensions Regulations 2010 and, from 1 April 2014, the Teachers' Pension Scheme Regulations 2014. Members contribute on a "pay as you go" basis with contributions from members and the employer being credited to the Exchequer. Retirement and other pension benefits are paid by public funds provided by Parliament.
The latest actuarial valuation of the TPS was carried out as at 31 March 2016 and in accordance with the Public Service Pensions (Valuations and Employer Cost Cap) Directions 2014. The valuation report was published by the Department for Education on 5 March 2019. The key elements of the valuation and subsequent consultation are:
- employer contribution rates set at 23.68% of pensionable pay (including a 0.08% employer administration charge;
- total scheme liabilities for service to the effective date of £218.1 billion, and notional assets of £196.1 billion, giving a notional past service deficit of £22.0 billion; and
- an employer cost cap of 10.9% of pensionable pay will be applied to future valuations.
The new employer contribution rate was applicable from September 2019.
A copy of the valuation report and supporting documentation is on the Teachers’ Pensions website at: https://www.teacherspensions.co.uk/news/employers/2014/06/publication-of-the-valuation-report.aspx.
The assets of the TPS are held in separate trustee-administered funds. Because of the nature of the scheme, the scheme's assets are not hypothecated to individual institutions and scheme-wide contribution rates are set. The charity is therefore exposed to actuarial risks associated with other institutions’ employees and is unable to identify its share of the underlying assets and liabilities of the scheme on a consistent and reasonable basis. Therefore, as required by FRS 17 “Retirement benefits”, the charity accounts for the scheme as if it was a defined contribution scheme. As a result, the amount charged to the statement of financial activities represents the contributions payable to the scheme in respect of the accounting period.
## b) London Pensions Fund Authority (LPFA)
The LPFA was established in 1989 as a stand-alone public body, to take over the running of the former Greater London Council (GLC) Pension Fund following GLC abolition on 31st March 1986. LPFA is also responsible for the residual employer functions of the GLC, Inner London Education Authority (ILEA) (abolished on 31st March 1990) and the former London Residuary Body (LRB).
The last remaining employee in the pension scheme retired in January 2020. The pension scheme has now been closed. During 2020 a repayment was received based on the cessation valuation carried by the LPFA.
## c) Defined Contribution stakeholder pension scheme
Under this scheme only the employer is required to contribute, currently at the rate of 14.8% (2021: 14.8%). Employee contributions are voluntary.
The trustees are satisfied that any foreseeable change in employer’s contributions can be budgeted for without detriment to the charity’s ongoing activities.
