The School's financial policy is to maintsin total fee income at a level sufficient to gener7te a surplus over time to meet the objertives of the School's strategic plan, allowing for investment In the school. This will be achieved through both operBtinE cash flow and fundraising.

The employer contribLrtion rate Is set by the Secretsry of State following gcheme valuations undertaken by the Government Actuary'g Department. The most recent artuarial valuation of the TPS was prepared as at 31 March 2016 and the Valuation Rewrt, which was published in March 2019, confirmed that the employer contribuLion rate for the TPS vvould increase from 16.4% to 23.6% (rom I September 2019.

On 27 lune 2019 the Supreme Court denied the govemment pemiission to appeal the Court of Appeal's judgmerrt that tr3nsitional provisions Introduced to the rEforThed pension schemes In 2015 gave rise to unlavrful age discrimination, The govemment is rEsperting the Court's decision arbd has said will engage fully wtLh the Employment Tribunal as well as employer and member presentativeS to agree how the disoimination5 will be remedied.

The TPS is iubiect to a coit cap mechanism which was PLrt in place to protect taxpayer> against unfortseen changes In scheme costs. The Chief Secretary to the Treasury. having in 2018 announced that there would be a review of this cost cap mechanism, In january 2019 announced a pause to the cosi cap mechanism following the Court of Appeal's nJling In the McCloudlSargeant case and until there is certainty aboLrt the value of pensions to employees from April 2015 onwards, The pause lifted in july 2020, and a consultation wag launched on 24 lune on proposed changes to the cost control mechanism following a VIeW by the Government Actuary. The consulLation closed to response on 19 August 2021 and the Govemment is currEntly analysing the rEsponses, In wew of the above njlings and deci510ns the assumptions used in the 31 March 2016 Actuarial Valuation may become Inappropriate. Irb this scenario, a valuation pPared In accordance wtLh rewsed benefits and suitably rewsed assumptions would yield diffent resu5 tharb those contained In the Artuarial Valuation. Until the cost cap mechanisrn review Is completed it Is not possible to conclude on any financial Impact or fUtlj changes to the contribution rateg of the TPS.
