To provKle a like for like comparison th previous years, the net def1t for the current year, before excepts'onal costs of £138,839. is £88,871 and compares the net income for last year of £1,224,893. In tho rrent year the Govemors 8pproved additional repairs and maintenance of £200,000 for thg lring of the main school. Th8 n8t deficit for the current year, after exCeptnal costs, is £227,710.

There are no free reserve5 as the unrestricted funds are invested in land and buildings.

Members contribute on 8 "pay as you go" basis wth ¢ontrfbutions from members and the employer being uedited to the ExclwLFer. Retirement arKI other pension benefits are paid by public funds provided by Parliament. The employer contritrmjtion rate is set by the secret of State followng sd)eme valuations undertaken by the Govemment Actuary's Department. The most rent aotuarial valuation of the TPS was prepared as at 31 March 2016 and the ValuatK)n Report. vthich was published in March 2019, confirmed that the employer contribution rate for the TPS would increase from 16.4% to 23.6% from 1 September 2019. Employers are also rUired to pay a scheme administration levy of 0.08% gNing a total employer conlribullon ral& of 23.68%. The 31 March 2016 Valuation Report was prepared In aCCordar8 wlth the beneffts set out In the scheme regulations and urKler Ihe approach specffied Sn the Dlrectlon8. as they applied at 5 March 2019. However. the assumpllons were consldered and set by the Department for Education prior to the ruling in the 'McCloudlSarge8nt case,. This case h8s required the courts to conslder cases regarding the implementation of the 2015 reforms to Public ServKe P8nsions including the Teachers. Pensions. On 27 June 2019 th8 Supreme C(MJrt denied the government permissM)n to appeal the Court of Appeal's Judgment that tranS'onal provisions introduced to the refomied pension schem85 in 2015 gave rise to unlawful age discrimination. The 9ovemment is respecting the Courvs decision and has said it will engage fully with the Employment Tritrtjnal as well as employer and member representatives to agree how the discriminations will trR Medled. A consultsllon was laurKhed by the government on 16 July 2020 and closed to rest)onses on 11 Oclober 2020. The TPS is subject to a cost cap me¢hani8m whkh was put in place to Prot taxpayers agalnst UnfOseen Changes In scheme Costs. The Chief Secretary to the Treasury, having in 2018 announced Ihat Ihere be a revlew of this cogt cap mechanism. in January 2019 announced a pause to the cost cap mechanism following the Court of Appeal's ruling in the M¢CloudlSargeanl case and until there is certainty 8bwt the value of pensions lo employees from April 2015 onw8rdg. The pause was lffted in Juty 2020 and the government is preparing to Complete the cost control element of the 2016 valuations, which is expeoled to be completed in 2021. In view of the above rulings and decisn9 the assumpb'ons used in the 31 March 2016 Actuarial Valuation may become inappropriate. In this scenario. a valuation pPared in ac¢ordan¢e wth revised benefrts and suitably revised assumptions would yiel(I ditferenl results than those contained in the Actuarial vUation.
