A message from the Chair of the Liverpool College Foundation (LCF)
You might have heard of the LCF and wondered what it is, what it does and what its Members do.
The Foundation
The Foundation is a Company limited by guarantee and is a Registered Charity. The Foundation owns the Freehold of the Estate at Mossley Hill, which has leased it, since September 2013 under a 125-year agreement with the Liverpool College Independent School Trust (LCIST). LCIST run the Academy under a Funding Agreement with the Department for Education, and the Lease would be terminated if ever that Agreement should cease. The Foundation and LCIST operate as separate Trusts under arms-length arrangements and have a Landlord and Tenant relationship under the Lease. Under the Memorandum and Articles of Association (M&AA) of LCIST, the Foundation is responsible for appointing several Members and Governors of LCIST.
The Foundation now focusses on the following activities:-

Our new website/database, “The Lerpoolians” allows us to connect quickly and directly with all Liverpool College stakeholders. We are delighted with the enthusiasm shown by those who have also chosen to “sign-up” to the site, contribute, and enjoy its content. It brings a sense of activity and fellowship to the alumni and other Liverpool College supporters, missing for many a year.
We want to encourage any of our stakeholders who wish to help get in touch with the Foundation Office***. We can then give you more information and answer any questions you may have.
Yours sincerely,
Charles Hubbard
