PENSION COMMITMENrs
Te4¢hers' Pen￿0￿ Scheme
The School participates in the Teachers, Pension S¢h¢me ('th¢ TPS,? for its teaching Staff. The pension charge
foT the year includes contnl)utions payable to the TPS of £1,691350 {2021.. £1.fi53,724) and at the year-eThJ
£141,710 (2021: £139,048) was 4¢¢ru¢d in respe￿ of contTibution8 to thi& Scheme.
The Trs is aD unfimded multi-employer defineAi benefits pension 8cheme governed by the Teachthy, Pension
Scheme Regulation8 2010 las amended) and the TeacheTS' Pension Scheme Regul&tions 2014 {as amend¢d).
Members contribute on a 'pay as you go" basis with contributions from members and the employ¢r being
credited to the Rxchequer. Rdir¢m¢nt and other pension ttnefits are paid by publie hjndg provided by
Parliament.
The employer ¢ontribution rnt¢ is set by the of S￿e following 8cheme valuation8 undertaken by the
Government A¢￿ary'S Departtnent. The most recent actiwial valuation of the TPS was pr¢pared as at 31
March 2016 and the Valuation Repork which was published in March 2019, confinned that the employer
conml)ution rate for the TPS would increase from 16.4O/tr to 23.60/. from I September 2019. Employers are
albo required to pay a 8¢heme athninistration Iw of 0.0￿/0 giving 8 totsl employer ¢Ontribution rate of
23.68Y..
The 31 Mareh 2016 Valuation Report was prepared in accordamce with the benefits liet out in ihe ¥cheme
regulations and und¢r the approach specified in the DirectioJLS. as they applied at 5 March 2019. However, the
a&%umptlODS W¢Te ¢on$id¢red and sei by the Departhhent for Education prior to the ruling in the
'McCloudlS4rg¢wLt case,. Thi5 case has requiTed the courts. to considercLses regarding the implementation of
the 2015 refornL8 to Publi¢ Service Pensions including the Teachers. P¢nsion¥.
On 27 June 2019 the Supreme Court denied the governme￿ ￿MIL8$10n to appeal the Court of AP&￿￿'S
judgrnent that trynsitsooal provisions introduced to therefornicd pension schemu in 2015 gave rise to unlaw￿1
age discriminwtion. The government is re8pecting the Court'5 decision and has Said 1¢ will engage fully with
the Employment Tribunal a% well as employer and member rqjresentatives to ¥gree how the discriminationb
will b¢ remedied. The government announced on 4 February 2021 that 1¢ intends to PTocttd with a defetred
choice underpin under which members will be able to clbjthe either Icgacy or ref0￿ed scheme benefits in
resyect of their service during the period between l A￿11 2015 and 31 March 2022 at the point they be£om¢
payHble.
The TPS is.%ubject to a CO￿ cap mechanism whieh was Put in place ¢0 protect t&¥payers against unfor¢seen
h&nges in ￿h¢me costs. The Chief Secretary to the Treasury. having in 2018 announced that there would b¢
a review of thi8 Cost cap mechanism, in January 2019 announced a pause to the cost cap mechanivn folloiving
the Coun of Appeal'8 ruling in the McCloudlSar8eant case and until there 1$ Certainty about the value of
pen8iorL$ to employees from April 2015 onwards. The pause was lified in July 2020, and a consultation wa5
launched on 24 June on proposed ehanges to the cost control m¢chaniwn following a review by the
Govemment Actuary. Following a publie co￿￿711t#110n, the Government have accepted three key proposals
rewmmended by the Govemment A¢Nary. artd are aiming io inyl¢meni the8e ch8nge¥ in time for the 2020
valuations.
In view of the above rulings and decisions the assumptions u￿j in the 31 Mareh 2016 Actuarial Valuation
may become inappropriate. In ¢hi$ 8¢enario, a yaluation prepared in accoTdan¢e with revised ben¢fits and
suitably revised a￿UmptionS would yield different re8ults than those contained in the A¢tiJarial Valuation.
Until the cosi cap mechani8m r¢vigion 15 completed it is noi po&$ible to conclude on any financial impaet or
future changeg to the contribution rate4 of the TPS. Accordingly, no pro%i$ion for any additional pas¢ benefii
